q2 i? In the redesigned course, almost a quarter of students disliked the flipped-video approach, with less than 15% expressing positive views. → McLay 2023 q2 i? Student feedback on the course was polarised: a moderate percentage of students loved the course while a corresponding percentage hated it. → McLay 2023 (2)

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Reflexive snapshot reporting the first author's reading of SET data from the redesigned course: "almost a quarter disliked this approach, with less than 15% expressing positive views" toward the flipped short-video format.

"So, I was taken aback when student feedback data revealed that almost a quarter disliked this approach, with less than 15% expressing positive views."

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Snapshot from the ALPP sharing session comparing the team's feedback with other teams': the authors report "a vivid picture of polarisation" rather than uniformly negative or positive responses. No effect size is printed.

"However, our student feedback scores painted a vivid picture of polarisation. While a moderate percentage of our students seem to 'love' the course, another corresponding percentage apparently 'hated' it."
