*I rarely plan ahead. I’m a spur-of-the-moment kind of person.~I’d be good in a dangerous job because I can make my mind up quickly.*If something better comes along it’s OK to cancel a longstanding appointment.~Seeing an animal injured or in pain doesn’t bother me in the slightest.*Driving fast, riding rollercoasters, and skydiving, appeal to me.~It doesn’t matter to me if I have to step on other people to get what I want.*I’m very persuasive. I have a talent for getting other people to do what I want.~Cheating on your partner is OK so long as you don’t get caught.*I find it easy to keep myself together in situations when others are cracking under pressure.~If I am able to con someone, that’s their problem. They deserve it.

Data Leads To Better Questions
• How do our completion rates stack up?• How do you know if students are accessing media?• How are you using predictive strategies to remediate students?• How do you measure retention?• How do you measure participation other than discussion posts?• Do clicks represent student activity effectively?• What percentage of minority students complete online
programs?• What is the optimal class size for online?

Kimball University Newsletter (2010)
• “Yes, most businesses in a given industry perform common functions. But if everyone's approach to these business functions was so similar, then why are there so many alternative organizations? Don't most organizations do things slightly differently than their industry peers? And if so, how do these "competitive advantages" get addressed by a pre-defined industry model?”
• “We’re taking a “wait and see” approach. We want to make sure we measure all of the right things before starting down the data path…”
• “Perfect is the enemy of good”

4: Conclusions
![Page 50: Http://innovation.saintleo.edu THE EFFECTS OF CLASS SIZE ON STUDENT SUCCESS AS DETERMINED BY COURSE COMPLETION AND COURSE PASS RATE Dr. Jeff D Borden](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfd01a28abf838caa7e0/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Conclusions• Will these findings extrapolate?
– Policy “rule” bending for students– Transient population
• Do pass rates or completion rates matter to an institution?– If so, 17 online students seems uninformed.
• Should teaching larger sections use different techniques?
![Page 51: Http://innovation.saintleo.edu THE EFFECTS OF CLASS SIZE ON STUDENT SUCCESS AS DETERMINED BY COURSE COMPLETION AND COURSE PASS RATE Dr. Jeff D Borden](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfd01a28abf838caa7e0/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
http://innovation.saintleo.edu
Recommendations
• Class size research:– Institutional differences– Per discipline / program / subject– Instructor workload– Does teaching change with size?– SHOULD teaching change with size?
• Is class size MORE valuable determining success than:– GPA– Parental education– Financial status– GRIT
