Exploring the Impact of Online Study Sessions on Student Academic Performance
Wanda Costen
Assistant Professor, Retail, Hospitality, and Tourism, UT KnoxvilleOverview
College students rarely have the opportunity to synthesize the vast amount of information they are accountable for prior to an exam. They are therefore challenged to try to determine which information is essential. This study is designed to offer online assistance to students who are committed to learning and understanding core concepts in an undergraduate Human Resources course.I currently provide students a review sheet prior to each exam. However, students still have trouble discerning to what degree they must study the various concepts outlined on the review sheet. I propose to video tape lectures focused on the review sheet topics, and have these lectures available to those students who sign up for the lectures in advance via Blackboard.
