Primary Sources and Source-Based Quizzes

Achieve provides access to the narrative as well as a wealth of primary sources along with formative and summative assessments and robust insight reports at the ready. Source-based quizzing offers the easiest way to engage students, help them build historical thinking skills, and tailor teaching to student needs, whether those classes are online, in-person, or in between.

 

History Tutorials

History tutorials on a variety of topics like working with primary sources, avoiding plagiarism, preparing writing assignments, and taking effective notes come with auto-graded quizzes and are designed to help students improve their college-level reading, writing and study skills.
