    Assessment content in Achieve is tied to a Learning Objectives framework that was developed in conjunction with College Success instructors and is reflective of best practices in learning science. As a result, you can view student performance against particular learning objectives, including where students might be struggling.

  7. Gradebook

    An easy-to-use Gradebook provides a clear window into performance for the whole class, for individual students, and for individual assignments, to help you to give every student the support they need.

  8. Assessment

Achieve also features pedagogically-aligned chapter quizzes, test bank questions, and iClicker slides that test student comprehension of chapter concepts.

  11. Video Programs

    The video activities in Achieve feature interviews with students about key concepts from the text and are accompanied by open-response questions to help students engage with the content and reflect on how these concepts relate to their own college success.

  12. ACES (specifically for Gore, Connections)

    ACES (Academic and Career Excellence System) is an online self-assessment developed to measure strengths in 12 critical areas, both cognitive and non-cognitive. Students take ACES at the beginning and end of their college success course, and by comparing these results, they’re able to celebrate areas of improvement and identify areas for future growth.
