We see you students 👀 burning up your highlighter. But self-testing (
#RetrievalPractice
) is a WAY more effective strategy for studying and Codon's gonna make it easy!
Our platform and content makes it easy for instructors and students to apply evidence-based teaching and learning strategies. Visit and reach out to learn more.
