How students leverage assignment submission flexibility - A case study.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Recent pedagogical trends in post-secondary education focus on how providing students with greater autonomy through assignment submission flexibility offers benefits ranging from increased learning to stress reduction. Unfortunately, the relationship between submission flexibility and any specific benefit is not firmly established. One explanation for this is a potential misalignment between anticipated benefits and an understanding of how most students leverage extended opportunities for assignment completion. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between assignment submission flexibility and how students used the opportunity. Quantitative evidence reveals that most students routinely maximized the time taken before submitting assignments. This occurred independent of assignment type, teaching modality, or the duration of assignment availability. The results support a conclusion that most students do not capitalize on increased flexibility to meet the demands of their unique schedules. Instead, they appear to adapt their schedules to submit assignments shortly before a perceived deadline.
