Abstract
When students read textbooks in the classroom, they usually apply active reading. Our previous study was to show the relation between the total number of comments inserted by students into their digital textbooks and their grades at the end of course. In this study, the number of comments inserted by students into their digital textbooks during each lecture is highlighted as one of main factors influencing their grades at the end of the course. Students who wrote a lot of comments during each lecture tend to receive a higher grade. Their grades at the end of the course are related to the number of comments inserted during each lecture in the early stages of the course. The finding suggests that if teacher can access information about comments that students wrote into digital textbooks just after each lecture, he may use it for improving students performance at the next lecture.
