HOW IT WORKS
Understanding is a process.
Make it visible.
Exact connects a starting assessment, course-based practice, and later opportunities to explain. The professor chooses the materials and reviews the activity before students begin.
Four connected steps.
Not every student starts in the same place. A course baseline helps provide context for the work that follows.
Later comparisons describe the evidence in student responses. They do not, by themselves, prove that a particular teaching method caused a change.
- 01
Start where you are
A beginning assessment records current understanding—including “I don’t know.”
- 02
Work with course ideas
Read, explain aloud, and explore questions drawn from professor-approved material.
- 03
Make the language yours
Practice target words in context and return to them for later recall.
- 04
Revisit what you understand
Compare later responses with your starting point using shared learning objectives.
ASSESSMENT
Show what you know.
“I don’t know” is a valid answer. A baseline or later assessment moves forward without coaching you toward the correct response.
GUIDED PRACTICE
Work toward understanding.
Ask for help, say you don’t understand, or request a rephrase. These support turns do not consume the three to five planned follow-up questions.
TRY THE IDEA
Same learner.
Different purpose.
Explore a short example of a starting assessment, a tutoring exchange, and precise language practice. This demonstration uses prepared sample content; it is not a live AI session.
BEFORE THE COURSE
How would you distinguish a claim from the evidence supporting it?
A baseline records what you know now. It moves on without teaching you the answer.
