These relationships make class attendance a better predictor of college grades than any other known predictor of…

The hypothesis that college grade point average (GPA) is predictable by student time management was tested. Ninety college students completed a time-management questionnaire in 1983. Four years later, comparison with cumulative GPA indicated that time-management practices may influence achievement. Time management was a better predictor than…

Nettles, Michael T.; Millett, Catherine M.; Ready, Douglas D. – Brookings Papers on Education Policy, 2003
The African American-white achievement gap exists even among the youngest children; African American students arrive at kindergarten considerably behind their white peers in measurable cognitive skills. Although the gap has narrowed somewhat over the past several decades, the average African American still scores below 75 percent of white students…
