Education researchers have conducted studies on the relationship of learning mode to student performance but few studies have evaluated pass rate, grade distribution and student withdrawal rate in an introductory research methods course.  In this study, researchers examined 2,097 student grades from the 2015-2016 academic year to determine if such a relationship existed.  In this study, learning mode was significantly related to failure rate, grade distribution and withdraw rate.  Synchronous video home students had a significantly higher failure rate than traditional In-Person or online students.  Online student grade distributions were significantly different than In-Person classroom, synchronous video home or synchronous …
