Test Results

During the course of this study, the students took six chapter exams.  To see if the use of online communication had any impact on student grades, I compared these test scores to the scores of last year's students.  The average test scores are shown in the table below:

As you can see, there were only slight fluctuations in the test scores.  However, I think it is important to point out that the enrollment in the class has increased 20% from last year.  Although the test scores have not uniformly increased, I believe the use of online communication has played an important role in the support of the students, which has led to the consistent performance of a greater number of students.
