About Rate This Lecture
I'm on a mission to bridge the communication gap between educators and students through simple, real-time feedback.
The Problem
Tell me if this happens to you too. I ask, "Does anyone have any questions?" and I was met with stone cold silence.
Everyone was afraid to ask for they needed help.
Even when you see the blank looks, the students think they can run to ChatGPT, or they'll just get it later. They feel it's better to ask an AI than to admit they don't know.
Students are often too shy to admit they are confused in front of their peers. Or they might not even realize they misunderstood a key concept until they try to apply it later. By the time the test arrives, it's too late to adjust teaching.
This Isn't New
This problem has existed since the beginning of time. I know I didn't always ask questions in class, nor did my classmates.
I remember leaving a class one day when I was tapped on the shoulder by a friend. "Did you understand today's lecture," he asked me.
"I was about to ask you the same thing," I replied.
We walked out of class, not knowing any more than when we had entered. Now we can help stop that. I get feedback, and start the next class answering questions people asked the last class, and everyone is better for it.
Our Solution
Rate This Lecture provides an incredibly frictionless way for instructors to gauge comprehension immediately after a lecture.
Through a simple three-face rating system (Poor, Somewhat, Fully), students can anonymously and rapidly express their understanding.
They are prompted to leave a question, which they can sign their name to or not, giving the teacher immediate, actionable insights into exactly what topics need to be revisited in the next class, or encourage a student to come to office hours.
Why It Works
Fast & Frictionless
Students can submit feedback in under 5 seconds on their phones before leaving the room.
Anonymous
Removes the fear of judgement, encouraging honest feedback and genuine questions.
Actionable Data
Teachers get real-time charts and lists of confusing topics to immediately adapt their lesson plans.
