Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Perceived usefulness was nearly identical across conditions (coeff. = -0.01, SE = 0.06, p = 0.88) among submissions with observed student ratings. → Mahinpei 2026

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Randomized field experiment; student-rated usefulness (1–5 Likert) compared across conditions for rated feedback instances only (N = 468). Course-level averages were 3.47 (control) and 3.48 (treatment), with "nearly identical" results across homework assignments.
"Among submissions with observed student usefulness ratings, perceived usefulness was nearly identical across conditions (coeff. = -0.01, SE = 0.06, 95% CI [-0.13, 0.12],𝑝= 0.88)."
