Abstract
This study presents new evidence on how attending class –particularly synchronous virtual lessons– affects academic performance in higher education. We analyse data from over 500 undergraduate students enrolled in four finance courses at the University of Murcia, a Spanish public university where attendance is non-mandatory. After controlling for the student's previous admission grade, academic experience, and demographic factors, the results show that online class attendance significantly increases the likelihood of taking the exam and improves the success rate as well as the final grades. Moreover, when the analysis distinguishes between attending lectures and practical lessons, there is a similar (positive) effect on student performance.
本研究提供了关于听课（尤其是同步虚拟课程）如何影响高等教育学业成绩的新证据。我们分析了穆尔西亚大学（University of Murcia）500 多名修读四门金融课程的本科生的数据。在控制了学生之前的入学成绩、学术经验和人口统计因素后，结果显示在线课堂出勤率显著增加了参加考试的可能性，提高了成功率和最终成绩。此外，如果将听课与实践课区分开来进行分析，对学生成绩也会产生类似的（积极的）影响。
