Simple regression models are evaluated in the classroom, in a computer laboratory session and in a final exam. The 2014_2015 academic year evaluations results are presented for a sample of 93 students of two different groups. The average marks obtained in the exam simple regression question, is worse than in the classroom and computer laboratory tasks in both groups.
