q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental comparison of end-of-semester histology exam scores between 24 volunteer integrated-course participants and 45 traditionally taught controls, graded by the same teachers on the same papers; the article reports the difference as significant (p=0.012), with "75 ± 3.46 and 63.96 ± 2.53".

"The results showed that the average test scores for participants of the integrated teachin g and non -participants were 75 ± 3.46 and 63.96 ± 2.53, respectively."
