Research Article

Title-The Effect of Early vs Delayed Start Times of Classes on Grades of High School Students

The article talked about how high school students that had a class earlier in the morning vs. students that had the same class in the afternoon did better or worse. The research that was conducted was correlation research. They found that the students who took the class in the afternoon had a higher grade in the class. They looked at over 61000 students to conduct this study. The one problem that I see with this research is their was no cause and effect. Their are a lot of variables that could play in this situation. How ever they did look at a large amount of students in this study. I found the article very interesting however it would be fun to conduct some experimental research in this study. This article made me think about this class. I hope that because it is an early class I get a good grade.

Biologically, early classes are terrible for teens. Their body rhythms are later than an adult's. But we have to have time for after-school activities, right?
