q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive prompt-order analysis within the Wagner College study; the article also reports a parallel Monmouth pattern where beginning prompt 1 to ending prompt 3 declined 17.32% while earlier-positioned comparisons improved. The authors call the order effect "one of the weaknesses of the research study."

"In this study, 23 students scored better on the first prompt than the second prompt, 4 scored the same and 5 students scored better on the second prompt than the first."
