Abstract

General Psychology students who attended lower resource type Supplemental Instruction (SI) completed study guides more thoroughly and displayed better exam performance, compared to their performance on exams for which they did not attend tutorials and to other non-attendees possessing comparable academic abilities. Implications for optimal SI resource allocation are discussed.
