This quantitative research study investigated participant actions and attitudes toward developing and maintaining a class binder, out-of-class effort, in-class responsibility requirements, special component and overall class satisfaction in an authoritarian classroom management style. Data was collected via a summative survey of three intact and streamed English communication classes (N = 80) in a women’s university in western Tokyo. These data were analyzed using SPSS 22 for determination of normal score distribution and a one-way analysis of variance of group means to ascertain group( High and Low ability) sameness. Raw scores were converted into measures via Winsteps 31.80. for Rasch analysis and interpretation. Results suggest that participant attitudes/responses to items relating to binder / study skills program, responsibility and overall class satisfaction were positive, while attitudes/responses to out-of-class effort and special class components were mixed. Further, results suggest both general similarities and specific differences in attitudes/responses between high and low groupings
