What would you do if you realized that many students at your institution are skipping the equivalent of a year’s worth of classes over four years?
And what if comprehensive research revealed that going to class is the best predictor of how a student will perform in the college classroom?
Poor class attendance is a problem worth solving. Learn how Class120 can help your institution improve student retention, GPAs and quality of student learning through better class attendance.
Is there a connection between class attendance and academic performance?
Yes...and it’s stronger than almost anyone realized.
We recommend that you take a look at "Class Attendance in College: A Meta-Analytic Review of the Relationship of Class Attendance with Grades and Student Characteristics," by Credé, Roch and Kieszczynka, Review of Educational Research, 2010.
"Attendance has strong relationships with both class grades and GPA. These relationships make class attendance a better predictor of college grades than any known predictor of academic performance."
