Why students love Top Hat

I liked the addition of the Ace AI, it was very helpful and the prompts were also useful.

Student

University of Toronto

I really liked how the material was set up for us to get practice questions while reading the material. I also thought the practice quizzes/mock assessments we had to take through Top Hat prepared me on material that I would see on the exam.

I liked how clean and easy to access the main interface on the mobile app was. The attendance and in-class questions popped up on the main page, so they were really easy to access.
