我们的前两个实验是将高结构课程模式应用于基本上开放招生的大学，结果是否定的或无效的。然而，我们的第三个实验被证明是更成功的：所有学生的成绩都有所提高，传统教学模式下影响少数民族学生的成绩差距也缩小了。虽然成功的设计包括课前准备视频，在课堂上密集的主动学习，每周练习考试，学生自我报告的数据表明，总的学习时间减少。有勇气进行实验并坚持对教学进行证据驱动的改革的教师可以减少经济和教育劣势引起的不平等。
Our first two experiments on adapting a high-structure course model to an essentially open-enrollment university produced negative or null results. Our third experiment, however, proved more successful: performance improved for all students, and a large achievement gap that impacted underrepresented minority students under traditional lecturing closed. Although the successful design included preclass preparation videos, intensive active learning in class, and weekly practice exams, student self-report data indicated that total study time decreased. Faculty who have the grit to experiment and persevere in making evidence-driven changes to their teaching can reduce the inequalities induced by economic and educational disadvantage.
