Tomorrow first lecture, new students @PPW_KULeuven. My first slides are ready. (A couple of new ones this year!)
1/6
Providing PowerPoint Slides prior to class has an adverse impact on performance of students.
2/6
Students who take notes on laptops perform worse than students who take notes longhand. "The Pen Is Mightier Than the Keyboard."
3/6
Students who multitask on laptop during class perform worse.
But. Also. Students in direct view of a multitasking peer perform worse.

@GrahamCLDavey: "Students with a consumer mindset do less well! Remember students, you're buying an "opportunity" to learn, not buying a degree!"

A higher consumer orientation in students is associated with lower performance.

Attending class has strong relationship with class grades. Mandatory attendance policies appear to have a small positive impact on average grades, so not mere correlational.

Students sitting on rows near the front during class perform better in examinations. Again, not just correlational evidence: "When students are randomly assigned seating location those seated towards the front achieve higher grades."
