The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between students' reactions to teaching and their consequent performance as measured by course grades. Reactions to teaching were reported by 189 adult part-time students enrolled in postgraduate studies over two consecutive academic semesters across six different study programs in a large Norwegian training institution. These students' reactions to teaching were then assessed in relation to their consequent performance, in terms of their individual final course exam grades. The results showed that students' reactions to teaching were unrelated to their consequent course performance. Implications for practice and directions for future research are discussed.
