Case Study: University of Amsterdam reduces grading time and boosts student engagement with Pearson Mastering Physics

University of Amsterdam reduces grading time with Pearson Mastering Physics weekly assessments

The University of Amsterdam, represented by instructor John Sheil, sought to enhance student engagement and reduce administrative grading time in its Physics 101 course for medical and natural science students. The challenge was to provide continuous feedback and prepare students with critical skills for the workforce.

Using the Mastering Physics platform from Pearson, integrated with a core textbook, the solution enabled weekly interactive assessments with supportive hints. Pearson's system streamlined the assessment process, significantly reducing grading time while giving students constant feedback. The result was an improved learning experience that successfully trains students in the analytical thinking essential for the world of work.
