Abstract

The purpose of this study is to 1) determine whether a correlation exists between non-mandatory attendance and course grades for a fourth-year hybrid industrial engineering course; and 2) to compare this conclusion with the conclusion from a previous study in determining whether a correlation exists between mandatory attendance and course grades for a third-year hybrid industrial engineering course. In sum, both studies provide evidence from their respective Pearson correlation coefficients that a negative correlation exists.
