Abstract
This paper uses the extant experimental evidence on the effectiveness of lectures compared to other modes of study by college students. It supplements this evidence with estimates of the costs of each mode of study based on the descriptions of the interventions. The analysis does not find any particular mode of study to be consistently more cost-effective than any other mode
