- W1550772156 abstract "This paper examines the question of how an instructor’s attendance policy influences student performance in Principles of Microeconomics. This study asked students in several different microeconomics classes at a medium sized regional university what sort of attendance policy they were subject to: was there a grade incentive for coming to class (i.e. bonus points), was there a grade punishment for not coming to class (i.e. deduction of points, missed assignments, etc.), was there some combination of the previous two or was there simply no attendance policy. We expected a variety of results because the six classes surveyed were taught by five different instructors, each with slightly different attendance policies. While there are a few papers showing a positive correlation between required attendance and course performance, this paper seeks to understand more about the impact from the type of attendance policy employed. Data is collected from a student survey and from the university’s registrar. The main empirical evidence is gathered from a two-stage regression analysis with student absenteeism as the dependent variable in the first equation and a student’s final grade (using a 4.0 scale) as the dependent variable in the second equation. We find that, everything else equal, students seem more motivated to come to class when they expect a positive reward and they are more likely to miss class if they expect a negative punishment. Also, student attendance is a small, but significant determinant of a student’s course performance after controlling for other relevant factors." @default.
