“Though the experimental methods and sample size are not sufficient for grounded empirical conclusions, a control group receiving 100% teacher-led instruction also took the pre- and post-course assessments to
provide some level of comparison. The quantitative results show that students in the “control” or traditional summer

the five-week period, while students in the “treatment” or Khan class, on average,
showed a 6.4% increase in their percentage of correct answers.”
