Improve class attendance and student participation. Encourage student preparation prior to class (reading of class materials). Quickly determine whether homework or reading assignments have been completed before the class.

5. Improve instructor understanding of students' comprehension of curriculum. Provide students with immediate feedback about the accuracy of their understanding of the curriculum. Provide instructor with instant feedback of students' understanding of concepts and content knowledge. Provide instructors with the ability to customize instruction based on student responses. Use analysis of student responses as the basis for class discussion. Traditional large lecture hall teaching methods are not suitable for all students. Meet the needs of diverse learning styles in large general education classes. Track student progress toward academic standards. Why Use a Student Response System?
