Beatty, Abby E.; Esco, Abby; Curtiss, Ashley B. C.; Ballen, Cissy J. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
To test the hypothesis that students who complete remote online tests experience an 'online grade penalty', we compared performance outcomes of second-year students who elected to complete exams online to those who completed face-to-face, paper-based tests in an organic chemistry course. We pursued the following research questions: (RQ1) Are there…
