In this study I re-evaluate the importance of physically attending lectures in a business statistics course when an online digital learning companion is used. A sample of five sections of business statistics that used the exact same text, lecture format, and algorithmic assignments are used. Overall, I find that students who attend all lectures perform significantly better on exams and on assignments when compared to students who have been absent. More specifically, attendance has a significantly larger positive influence on exam scores when there are fewer exams in the semester. Completion of online assignments is more influential in sections with more exams.
