While lecture is the dominant means of delivering content in an economics class, the use of active learning techniques is slowly growing. This article focuses on the effectiveness of in-class writing. Consistent with prior research, this study finds that writing improves student performance on exams. Advances over prior research are offered in the particular usage of one- minute papers and in the availability of student data from the university’s Registrar. In particular, the use of one-minute papers is found to have a significant positive impact on student grades in a Principles of Macroeconomics course. Other key variables include a student’s attendance and prior academic record.
