In each of his courses, Professor Zehr uses Hawkes Learning’s student software and has seen an increase in students’ career-readiness and technical preparedness for future courses including those in the Arts and Sciences areas.

“The courseware is designed to build confidence in the students who struggle, as well as, challenge the students, who need a good review and preparation for a college-level course. Students build their confidence as they improve their math skills, and they find comfort in the structure and repetition of the problem sets.”

Hawkes’ 3-step mastery approach has helped his students with targeted practice and given them the ability to test out of sections that they’ve already demonstrated mastery. “The structure of the Learn, Practice, and Certify format provides students with a predictable framework while being able to use this structure to be able to practice, improve, and master the necessary skills to transition to the college-level courses needed to pursue their desired career.”

 

A few stand-out features of the courseware include:

Practice Test: Provides a quick review of the concepts, serving as a helpful tool for exam preparation.

Best Score: Encourages students to retake tests and strive for a higher standard of success without fear of doing worse and lowering their grade.

“Combine [these] features with “exceptional” service, and you have a courseware product that will prepare students at any level of ability for a promising future.”
