"Perusall has finally given me a meaningful way for students to demonstrate that they have read an assignment. By asking them to comment and respond to what they are reading, they are forced to be more engaged with the text. Because of this, they come to class more prepared to discuss and apply what they have read or viewed."

"Perusall has completely transformed my teaching experience. It provides invaluable data: based on the student comments, I can see which topics they are interested and adjust my preparation accordingly. The dialogues that emerge in the Perusall comments also translate directly into more engaging classroom discussions."

"I highly recommend Perusall, not just to get students to read the textbook, promote self-reflection, improve the quality of student questions, and facilitate peer support, but also because of the insight you gain, as an instructor, regarding the areas that trip up students."

"One of the most valuable aspects of Perusall is that it allows me to see the close reading strategies my students use in real-time. I can track their interpretations, highlight areas that may need more attention, and provide immediate feedback. I think Perusall is a powerful tool that enhances student engagement and helps them build critical reading skills."

"Perusall is a great tool to ensure my students do the reading prior to class and come prepared to discuss it. It also provides me insight prior to class of areas of student confusion or interest to help steer our discussions."

Tamara Stawicki

"Perusall helps students to meaningfully engage with assigned texts. I assign a lot of scientific papers, and Perusall brings students together in a powerful way to support learning outcomes. I have students bringing in outside materials, answering each others' questions-- and posting lots of memes! I'm very grateful for the dynamic that Perusall brings to reading assignments."
