Abstract: Previously investigators found that students and faculty perceived in-class lectures and in-class discussion as among the more effective learning methods surveyed. This paper reports on a second study to determine if this perceived effectiveness reflects actual effectiveness. To achieve this end, the investigators compared final grades between students in the same courses with different sections where the only difference between the sections was whether or not lectures and class discussion were part of course activities. After analyzing the results of the experiment, the investigators rejected the null hypothesis that: “students in regular section students who attended face-to-face lectures and participated in live class discussions did as well as students in online sections with no lectures and no in-class discussion.” The null hypothesis was rejected because students who did not attend lectures or participate in class discussion performed significantly better than those who did.
