Abstract
College faculty and students often believe that student performance can be impacted by the time of day that a course is offered and may schedule their courses based on personal preference. This paper examines the relationship between the time of day for course offering and academic success, controlling for course characteristics and instructor variability. Data from a medium-sized private university was studied for a course that was taught by three professors over a period of 13 years. The content of the course was consistent, and the assignments and examinations followed a standard format. Results show that the time of day did not impact the academic performance of students when the instructor variable was controlled.
