The Effectiveness of School-Type Classes Compared to the Traditional Lecture/Tutorial Method for Teaching Quantitative Methods to Business Students.
Goldfinch, Judy
Studies in Higher Education, v21 n2 p207-20 Jun 1996

Students and teachers overwhelmingly preferred the medium-size class method, which produced higher exam scores but had no significant effect on coursework grades. (Author/MSE)
