Title
Attendance and performance in a large economics class
Document Type
Conference Paper
Abstract
In this paper we investigate whether lecture attendance is related to student performance in the multiple choice component of the final exam, for a large class of first year economics students. Our findings indicate that in this learning environment, lecture attendance was not statistically significantly related to academic performance. This result may cast doubt on calls to make attendance compulsory.
