Florida SouthWestern State College reduces plagiarism and improves student writing with Packback

Florida SouthWestern State College faced a challenge with its first-year students who lacked confidence in their writing abilities and were prone to plagiarism. To address this, the college worked with Packback to provide a platform that would support these incoming freshmen and help them take ownership of their learning from the first day.

Packback provided students with real-time support for grammar, mechanics, and originality. This solution reduced the burden of writing, making students feel like confident college writers and reducing the likelihood of academic dishonesty. The impact was noticeable across other assignments, with students showing improved writing throughout the semester. For the instructor, Packback meant less time spent on grading mechanics and more time engaging with student ideas.
