Are the students really learning, or confused and afraid to ask?

Students are afraid to ask questions.

When you look out at your class, it is easy to feel unsure. Are they getting it, or are they just being quiet?

❌ Students nod their heads, but then fail the quiz.
❌ They are too shy to raise their hand in front of peers.
❌ They just give you a blank stare when you ask if it makes sense.
❌ You waste precious time teaching things they already know.

Built by a teacher, for teachers.

I am a Computer Science Professor myself. I understand the frustration.

I saw the blank stares in my own classroom - yet many students were afraid to speak up. I'd ask if they had questions - and get a deer in the headlights look.

I wanted to give them a safe, quiet way to give me feedback. Rate This Lecture lets you check their learning in one second, without stopping your flow. No more guessing.

They don't even have to leave their name. They tell how they feel they are doing, and they can ask a question anonymously if they want.
