Some college professors make bound lecture notes available to their classes in an effort to improve teaching effectiveness. Marketing Educational Review (Fall 1994) published a study of business students' opinions of lecture notes. Two groups of students were surveyed- 86 students enrolled in a promotional strategy class that required the purchase of lecture notes, and 35 students enrolled in a sales retailing elective that did not offer lecture notes. At the end of the semester, the students were asked to respond to the statement: "Having a copy of the lecture notes was [would be] helpful in understanding the material." Responses were measured on a nine-point semantic difference scale, where 1 = "strongly disagree" and 9 = "strongly agree." A summary of the results are reported in the table.
