Correlational analysis of note-opening behavior in the 28-course log dataset, reported in Fig. 4. The article reports a significant negative relationship (r=-0.77, p<0.01), indicating "students in larger classes open a smaller percentage of their peers' notes than do students in smaller classes".
"A test of correlation between class size and percentage notes opened (Fig. 4) revealed a significant negative relationship (r=-0.77, p<0.01). This indicates that students in larger classes open a smaller percentage of their peers' notes than do students in smaller classes."
