As part of the scientific work, specialists from the Department of Physics and Astronomy studied mid-term exams and final grades of more than 10 students from Texas who were enrolled in four introductory physics courses in a decade. The study found no evidence that male students regularly outperform female students in these courses.

”There is no consistent trend of male students outperforming female students“, – shared one of the authors of the study, the Texas A&M physicist and the president’s professor of teaching skills Tatyana Erukhimova.
