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.
q2 i? Graduate nurse practitioner students overwhelmingly agreed that webcam proctoring and lockdown browsers deterred cheating, though frequent minor alerts caused false positives requiring faculty review. → Harerimana A 2026

Scoping review synthesis of two included studies (Aplin-Snider et al. 2021; Castaño et al. 2021) reporting that "98–100% of graduate NP students agreed webcam proctoring/lockdown browsers deterred cheating"; the review also notes frequent minor alerts caused false positives and time-intensive faculty review.
