Assess yourself and recalibrate your learning
What is CLASS?
CLASS stands for Confidence-based Learning Accuracy Support System. Watch the video below to see what CLASS is all about.
Confidence Collection
CLASS asks you to make judgements of your confidence in your responses and to generate detailed and instant feedback regarding your abilities.
Make Predictions
Before and after CLASS quizzes, you are asked to predict your performance; first based on just the quiz learning objectives, and then after having taken the quiz. How accurate are your perceptions?
Instructor Generated
Quizzes in CLASS are generated by instructors and tied to specific learning objectives, allowing you to accurately assess your progress.
Close Your "Gap"
CLASS provides you and your instructor with information regarding any gaps between your perceptions and your abilities - practice and become more accurate!
CLASS For Students
For students, CLASS is a quizzing website that uses your confidence in your answers to communicate important information regarding your learning behaviors which help you guide your studying.
Monitor Performance
Results from CLASS quizzes allow you to gauge your performance in a course or topic.
Isolate Topics
Results by learning objective allow for focused feedback regarding your abilities.
Improve Accuracy
Feedback regarding the accuracy of your perceptions can help you better monitor your learning.
Dynamic Quizzing
Coming to CLASS this summer, students will be able to dynamically generate a quiz based on selected learning objectives or other metrics, such as most frequently missed questions.
CLASS For Educators
For instructors, CLASS can provide novel information regarding your students learning from confidence measures taken during quizzes.
Isolate Misconceptions
High disparities between students' confidence and performance can highlight problematic topic areas.
Inform Instruction
Real-time student data provides opportunities for targeted instructional interventions.
Identify Behaviors
Visualizations allow for identification and characterization of student learning processes - are they over/under-confident?
Improve Student Performance
Providing students more than just performance feedback can provide a valuable instrument for change through more focused studying.
Fun Facts
Student Testimonies
We have been using CLASS in college-level introductory geology courses for the past 2 years. We reached out to students for feedback and here is some of what they have said about how CLASS helped them in the course.
“If I was really overconfident, then I would go back and study a lot more and then, if I found that I was under-confident and did better than expected, then I would just realize I needed to take a break from studying and not psyche myself out.“ - Sarah, Sophomore Business Major
“I think it helped identify what I felt comfortable about and what I didn’t. And on the exams, I think it helped me assign each question to a category of whether I was confident or not and it improved my accuracy, I think.“ - Tyler, Junior Atmospheric Science Major
“…the graph of how you’re doing – it showed what you needed to study more too, so I could spend more time focusing on what I was struggling with… if you would have just said, 'Oh, you made a 60 out of 100', I would have been, like, 'Well, maybe I was just confused.'” – Anne, Junior Business Major
“So, obviously, a big number like a calibration far off zero, I guess, is alarming. When you took those quizzes, when you take the same ones over and over you expect that value to get lower and, obviously, if it's not getting lower, then I know something needs to change if it's not getting close to zero.” - Brian, Junior Business Major
