If you’re like most instructors, you spend too many evenings and weekends buried under the kind of work that takes you away from the real joy of teaching: connecting with students. Prep, grading, troubleshooting tech… it all adds up.
That’s where Achieve can help. It’s designed to handle the busywork, so you can focus your time and energy where it matters most. Here are three practical ways Achieve saves you time (and sanity).
1. Let students get feedback in the moment
Instead of answering dozens of emails about problem sets or clarifying the same concept over and over, Achieve provides immediate feedback when students answer incorrectly. They see where they went wrong, can try again, and arrive at class better prepared.
Your win: fewer interruptions, more confident students, and less reteaching material you've already covered.
2. Stop hand-grading what doesn’t need to be hand-graded
Essays and projects may need your insight, but basic practice and comprehension checks? Achieve’s auto-graded assignments handle those for you. You still get visibility into how students are doing, but without spending hours grading routine work.
Your win: meaningful time saved, without sacrificing the quality of feedback.
3. Streamline your classroom logistics
Two things that always seem to take more time than they should: managing your LMS and taking attendance. Achieve integrates directly with your LMS, so grades sync automatically (no double entry). And with iClicker included at no cost with most Achieve courses, you can take attendance in seconds, while also boosting engagement with quick polls and questions.
Your win: less clicking, fewer spreadsheets, and smoother classes.
The bottom line
Time is one of the most valuable resources you have as an educator. With features like instant feedback, auto-grading, LMS integration, and built-in iClicker attendance, Achieve is built to reduce the grind so you can reclaim your time and your focus.
