The Relationship Between Learning Mode and Student Performance in an Undergraduate Elementary Statistics Course in the United States

Faculty have conducted many studies on the relationship between learning mode and student performance but few researchers have evaluated final grades, grade distribution, and pass rates in a sophomore introductory statistics course with a non-traditional student population who self-selected the lear...
