Some researchers observed that student attendance has been considered an important factor for learning, but in various hierarchical relations with student motivation, GPA and entrance exam percentile ranking. Other studies indicated no significant relation between attendance and learning. However, extended studies showed that attendance, particularly excessive absenteeism, conditioned course learning.

The study of economics: a feminist critique

Article Abstract:

Minimal representation of women and minorities as economics students is reflected in the low percentage increase of BA and PhD economics graduates compared to psychology, sociology and other fields of knowledge. This discrimination has been attributed to the creation of a chilly classroom climate for women and minority students in economics courses, minimal faculty representation of women, biased subject matter and the limited approach of the traditional course.
