In the paper“Early, But Not Intermediate, Evaluative Feedback Predicts Cumulative Exam Scores in Large Lecture-Style Post-Secondary Education Classrooms”, researchers Alice S. N. Kim and Sharry Shakory investigated whether early and intermediate evaluative feedback on in-class quizzes were predictive of students’ scores on a final cumulative exam in a third-year Psychology course at a large North American university.The results of the regression analysis showed that early, but not intermediate, evaluative feedback was predictive of students’ scores on the final cumulative exam.
