Hear from Users

Here’s what instructors and students are saying about Achieve Essentials.

Achieve Essentials is really good at being able to provide you with a hint of why you got something wrong if you have multiple attempts. I feel the program overall is well designedand geared more towards student success.”

Chemistry student, 2023

Even when you answer a question incorrectly, Achieve tells you WHY it was wrong. It was really helpful for my learning of Biochemistry.”

Biochemistry student, 2023

Achieve’s problems are very useful. The software knows what I did wrong, it’s very reliable and is good at guiding my thinking.”

Physics student, 2023

I really like that I can monitor students in my class to see if they are actively working on in-class assignments I give on Achieve. I give participation points based on their effort in this area. They also have graded homework and quizzes on Achieve. I like that they have the option to use multiple attempts on a question so that there is no excuse of ‘I clicked on the wrong answer by accident.’”

Instructor using Achieve Essentials for OpenStax General Chemistry (1-Term Online)

It is a great complement to the material covered in class. [Achieve] allows the students to push themselves to get a better understanding of the material. It also requires students to extend the knowledge they gathered from reading the book. It challenges them to apply the material.”
