作者研究了经济学101学生自愿参加一个学分的背诵班的影响，重点是课程成绩，课程保留率和后来的经济学课程的成果。复习课由具有高级微观经济学经验的本科生同行领导授课。这些同行领导人没有得到报酬，而是参加了一门三学分的课程，重点是研究经济学教学法。在控制了学生的学业、人口统计学和工作相关特征后，作者的估计表明，背诵班的学生比经济101班的学生获得了更高的最终成绩。此外，虽然他们是较弱的学生，根据他们的ACT成绩，那些谁参加了背诵班并没有比他们的同行谁没有参加背诵班下降ECON 101更有可能。
The authors examine the impacts of enrollment in a voluntary one-credit recitation class for ECON 101 students, focusing on course grades, course retention, and outcomes in later economics courses. The recitation classes were taught by undergraduate peer leaders with experience in upper-level microeconomics. Instead of being paid, the peer leaders enrolled in a three-credit course focused on examining research on economics pedagogy. After controlling for students’ academic, demographic, and work-related characteristics, the authors’ estimates indicate that recitation class students earned higher final grades than their ECON 101 counterparts. Additionally, although they were weaker students based on their ACT scores, those who enrolled in the recitation class were no more likely to drop ECON 101 than their counterparts who did not enroll in the recitation class.
