Case Study: Texas A&M University cuts grading time in half with Packback Deep Dives

Texas A&M University cuts grading time by 50% with Packback

Texas A&M University sociology professor MJ Vickers needed to reduce the overwhelming grading burden for writing assignments in her courses. Without teaching assistants, she was spending up to 20 minutes per paper and was frustrated by a post-pandemic decline in student writing quality. She turned to Packback's Deep Dives product to help streamline the process.

By implementing Packback Deep Dives, the professor automated feedback on grammar and structure, allowing her to focus on providing higher-level content insights. This solution cut her grading time per paper in half, from 20 minutes to just 10 minutes, while providing students with twice as much feedback. Packback enabled her to assign more writing without increasing her workload and helped improve both student writing quality and confidence.
