Caveat: Sample too

small for statistical

significance

Survey results• 71% said that they would

recommend the mobile student support program to a friend or fellow student

• A majority (57%) reported that the nudges helped them feel more motivated, enthusiastic, supported, optimistic, committed, and driven

• A majority (53%) talked about the program with other students outside of pre-calculus

They were great …they were well timed and good messages.

“They {the nudges} were helpful and motivating.”

“The program works. When I felt

troubled about math, I would get a

persistence text. That helped.”

“They gave me great advice on improving my studying methods.”
