Crede, Marcus; Roch, Sylvia G.; Kieszczynka, Urszula M. – Review of Educational Research, 2010
A meta-analysis of the relationship between class attendance in college and college grades reveals that attendance has strong relationships with both class grades (k = 69, N = 21,195, p = 0.44) and GPA (k = 33, N = 9,243, p = 0.41). These relationships make class attendance a better predictor of college grades than any other known predictor of…
