Students Moving Beyond Multiple-choice to Critical Thinking

“Packback has been such a wonderful addition to the course. It’s really allowed me to see the students’ scholarly thinking on a new level. In the nursing program, we have so many multiple-choice exams that this is an opportunity for them to really showcase their ability to write and think on new levels and in new ways. The students have really enjoyed interacting with each other. [Packback is] much more engaging than some of the traditional methods that we’ve used in the past, such as Blackboard discussion. So it’s been a really great addition to the course, and I definitely want to use it moving forward.”
