Albert.ioReviews of albert.io

Albert.io is honestly a lifesaver for AP Euro. The practice questions are super close to the real AP exam, and the explanations actually teach you why the right answer is right (and why the wrong ones are wrong). It’s perfect for drilling tricky topics like the Enlightenment or the Reformation without having to dig through your notes every time. I really like how it’s organized by unit, so if I bomb a quiz on absolutism, I can just focus there until I get it. Some of the questions can be tough, but that’s kind of the point—it pushes you to think like the College Board.

I really like using Albert on a daily basis as homework for students to be able to interact and see the solution after they are done with the assignment. This allows them to get immediate feedback rather than wait for me to grade and get back to them in a day or two. For homework assignments i have the least restrictive options where students can see the answer immediately after they submit their answer thus reinforcing if they are right and allowing students to reflect and learn what they need to fix to move on to the next problem. Students have to show work for all questions and do corrections for the ones they missed to earn the points that they have lost so thus enforcing them to not just randomly choose their answers as they are multiple choice questions. For tests it is also helpful as I do not have to create a test and just use the tests in the system.

Critical thinking questions have really made students rethink what they have learnt in the classroom and refine it
