Background Babson is a small business school with a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship. All students are issued PC compatible laptop with a standard load of business software including Minitab. The primary text used was Basic Business Statistics by Berenson, Levine & Szabat 13 in e-book format.

The Situation New curriculum in the fall of Longer (95 vs. 75 minute) class times. Students have shorter attention spans. Students do NOT like reading textbooks.

The Opportunity Most students are in their first semester of college. Looking to flip part of the class to open up some class time for “experiential” learning activities. Start each class with a short quiz on the reading. Gear the quizzes only to most important topics. Suggest to the students to skim rather than read critically.

The Data Individual student test scores on the reading quizzes. The amount of time in minutes that each student prepared for the reading quizzes. Individual student course grades. Two semesters (Fall 2014 & Spring 2015) for comparison. Two instructors (Recck & Rybolt) for comparison.

The Quizzes Recck used paper quizzes generally administered in the first five minutes of class. Question order often randomized. Rybolt used electronic quizzes with a set window starting one minute before class to five minutes into class. Some quizzes randomized.

Sample Quiz How many minutes did you spend reading Chapter 6 in BLS13 for today? The reading for today was primarily about: (Circle one.) Binomial DistributionsDiscrete Distributions Normal DistributionsSampling Distributions Given a normal distribution with a mean of 7 and a standard deviation of 2, which probability below is closest to the area less than 9? (Circle one.) 5% 25% 50% 85% The uniform distribution most closely resembles this shape? (Circle one.) Circle Rectangle Square Triangle

More Results

Summary Findings Quizzes get students to class on time. Quiz mean and course average are related. Students become more efficient in the study habits.

Recommendations Urge students to spend a reasonable amount of time reading the text before the class in which the material is covered. Note to students the positive correlation between effective reading practices and performance in class. Also note the time efficiency to the students as double benefit and extra incentive to do the readings. Encourage students to optimize their reading time in general and not just keep rereading the text.
