Grammar
"which resulted in" as opposed to "resulting in". Which is correct?
This question often comes up when writing evaluation reports for employees. An example would be, "John taught a class to 30 people that/which resulted in a 100% pass rate." or "John taught a class to 30 people resulting in a 100% pass rate."

Both are correct. I think the shorter version (without the clause) carries a tighter connection, or causal relationship. " That is, with the clause, the idea might creep in that he might have taught another with only a 50% pass rate.

I think the shorter version (without the clause) carries a tighter connection, or causal relationship. It makes the point in a stronger way that his teaching was responsible for the success - even though the clause may be a "dependant clause." That is, with the clause, the idea might creep in that he might have taught another with only a 50% pass rate.
