“I’ve found Hypothesis invaluable in engaging students with assigned reading material…The students say very smart things; they engage with each other very civilly and respectfully, and they synthesize their annotations with other class discussions, projects and readings”.

Hypothesis helped Professor Francie Quaas-Berryman achieve a 100% success rate in her classes, boosting both engagement and retention.
“Hypothesis gets students talking to each other about the reading outside of the classroom in a way that I have never been able to see happen before. They come to class much more ready to talk about the reading and I have a sneak preview of the issues they found most compelling, as well as the ones they might have missed.”
Nancy Eberhardt, Ph.D.
Distinguished Service Professor of Anthropology
