The results of experimental studies cast doubt on any clear positive causal relationship between satisfaction with the course and achievement.

Experimental educational studies have demonstrated that student satisfaction with a course is biased based on objective measures.
“When it comes to experimental research, a number of educational studies conducted in different parts of the world -including Italy (Braga, Paccagnella, & Pellizzari, 2014), France (Boring, 2015), and the United States (Arbuckle & Williams, 2003;Carrell & West, 2010;MacNell, Driscoll, & Hunt, 2015) -have demonstrated that student satisfaction with the course is biased (based on objective measures).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
