The University of North Carolina Charlotte has used Hawkes’ Precalculus curriculum in all of their Math 1103 courses since Fall 2020. Course coordinator, Professor Anna Athanasopoulou, sees first-hand the impact that Hawkes Learning’s mastery-based approach has on her students and the strong correlation between the coursework they complete in Hawkes and their final exams and overall course grades. 

Recent data from her Fall 2021 courses show that students who completed at least 80% of their homework in Hawkes scored on average 5 percentage points higher on the final exam and almost 20 percentage points higher in the overall course, which takes all tests throughout the term into account. 

“Hawkes provides excellent support.” 

In addition to improved scores and excellent support, professor Athanasopoulou says that she finds the software convenient, especially when reviewing homework, stating, “I can see the questions the system provides to students as homework assignments.” Using Hawkes, instructors can review exact iterations of the questions each student was asked in their assignments.
