Students pass the written. Then they forget it. Sugar makes it stick.

How it works

1. 1. You create a class and share a join code with your students.
2. 2. You assign ready-made modules and set the test date.
3. 3. Every miss comes back on a spaced schedule before the test, and Teach-back asks students to explain it in their own words.
4. 4. You see who's ready: misses reviewed, what's due, and the topics your class misses most. Never their chats.
