Abstract

The article offers information on flaws in a 2008 study, conducted by Ohio State University at Columbus, on the link between Facebook and lower student grades. It is said that researchers Aryn Karpinski and Adam Duberstein did not examine the influence of Facebook on grades. Furthermore, the students who shared their grades were not representative of all Ohio State students. Th survey only included those students who showed up to those professors' classes on the days the study was administered.
