q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive analysis of clicker records and observation-form data from the quasi-experiment: Group A peaked at 125 and 114 responses in weeks 3–4 (clicker weeks) and Group B at 119 and 116 in weeks 5–6 (its clicker weeks), as shown in Figures 2–4. "both Groups A and B increased their participation rates."

"Thus, while using clickers in different periods, both Groups A and B increased their participation rates."
