報告摘要
This project aims to address the lowpersistence and graduation rates seen at broad-access public four-yearuniversities. The project explores one of the least understood aspects ofcollege success—the role of faculty feedback. To test theeffect of professor feedback on student success in higher education classrooms,we conducted a small-scale randomized intervention in a large,introductory-level microeconomics course at a comprehensive researchuniversity. The “light-touch” intervention consisted of two strategically-timede-mails to students from the professor indicating the professor’s knowledge ofthe students’ current standing in the course, keys to success in the class, anda reminder of when the professor is available. Results show that students inthe treatment group scored higher on exams, homework assignments, and finalcourse grade, compared to students in the control group. In addition, theresults indicate positive, though insignificant effects, on time spent onhomework assignments and a lower likelihood of dropout/failure.
