The setup process was impressively quick and went off without a hitch, allowing us to transition smoothly from our legacy system. One of the most notable improvements has been in our student response rates. With our previous system, we struggled to reach a 30% participation rate. Since implementing Watermark, our response rates have soared to 75%, making our course evaluation data far more representative and actionable.

I really appreciate how easy it is to do a year by year comparison on IE results. … P&SS helps me by combining the function of several different software programs into one.
