Helping Students to Succeed in General Education Political Science Courses? Online Assignments and In-Class Activities
Jozwiak, Joseph
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, v27 n3 p393-406 2015

Students reported that they were more engaged in the classroom and felt that both helped them in exam preparation. Both were also shown to have positively affected student performance and, perhaps most hearteningly, seemed to have had the greatest impact on lower achieving students.
