Abstract

We present statistical evidence that when students voluntarily write reflective "journal entry" essays on assigned reading, their performance on multiple-choice quizzes on the reading is improved compared to students who do not complete such essays. A Smirnov non-parametric test and a pair-wise comparison analysis were used to establish the validity of the hypotheses.
