Here's what some instructors have told us about why they choose to use CompClass in their composition classrooms.
It's easy to have the e-Book and everything else you want for class in one course space.
"My students liked CompClass because they had easy access to all of the resources like i-cite, and Comment. They also really liked having the e-book in the same place."- Gina Merys, Creighton University
"It is totally geared toward composition. Plus, many of the features I want to use, i.e., Comment and e-texts are available."- Jill Dahlman, Windward Community College
"The access to tutorials and instructional materials for Composition makes the space a valuable resource for students and instructors."- Diane Russo, University of New Haven
It's easy to customize your course space and keep students on track with assignments, announcements, calendar, course materials, and grades all readily accessible.
"I added some announcements throughout the semester (very easy!), rearranged the tabs, and added the calendar. It was all easy!"- Jill Dahlman, Windward Community College
"I liked the ability to comment on papers in the drop box with such ease—and to have those comments appear in the grade book. I also liked the appearance and features of the discussion board and the ability to input grades right there."- Gina Merys, Creighton University
"The ability to place assignments on the assignment list and on the calendar and then send students a reminder 24 hours before an assignment came due was definitely valuable."- Jennifer Wunder, Georgia Gwinnett College
Its easy to change the way you think about teaching, and how students think about learning with new ways to collaborate and participate.
"I think the vast majority of my students had an excellent experience with CompClass. We also had some fun with it. They enjoyed the connections they were able to make with the rest of the people in the class through the communications features. They really got to know each other."- MaryJane Maxwell, Miami-Dade College - Wolfson
"The course space has made me discover new methods for teaching a course I have taught so many times before. I find that with the course space I am able to address the course's learning outcomes more directly than I am able to in a live class, and I am seeing more willingness to engage in the kind of peer feedback and versatile writing that have been difficult to get students excited about in a live class. I have noticed that students have explored the site's resources without being asked or required to do so."- Diane Russo, University of New Haven
