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 i3 The within-subjects comparison of pre- and post-raters' scores was statistically significant with a large effect size of .903. → Gulley 2012

q3 · i3 · causal · r2
Mixed design ANCOVA of two raters' averaged scores on pre- and postfeedback drafts of 70 students; raters achieved "92% inter-rater reliability" and agreed within one point on each item.
"The within subjects comparison for preraters' scores and postraters' scores indicated statistically significant results with F = 10.922, p < .002. This comparison had a large effect size of .903."
