Which gender does better on a first year level of college?

Abstract The purpose of the present study was to analyze and observe the academic performance among females and males. Student's grades were investigated in this experiment to determine which gender performed better academically. One class of Psychology 100 students were used in the study. The data was derived from three tests and one Christmas exam that were given to students in Psychology 100. The scores from the tests were calculated to obtain the overall averages of males …showed first 75 words of 1341 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1341 total…vice versa. This could have changed the averages. Maybe there were a lot of males in the class who did very well in Psychology but were not included in the study because they missed a test. These are some factors to look for when conducting future studies to assure that the results would not be bias. References Dept of Psychological Medicine. (1997).
