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? Students rated their understanding of the volume-pressure relationship highest (88.3% favorable) but performed worst on it, and rated disease understanding lowest (69.1% favorable) while performing best on it. → Wolf et al. 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Comparison of survey favorability ratings against midterm performance per concept in the test sections. "88.3% favorable response" for volume-pressure understanding contrasted with the lowest performance, while "69.1% favorable response" for disease understanding accompanied the highest performance.
"On one hand, students thought they understood the relation between volume and pressure very well (88.3% favorable response), but had the lowest performance on this concept. On the other hand, they weren't as confident with their perceptions of pulmonary disease understanding (69.1% favorable response) but had the highest performance on this concept."
