q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental comparison of elective integrated-course final exams (a six-question clinical case analysis) taken by year 1 and year 3 volunteers in summer 2012. The article reports "year 3 students are significantly better than the ones from year 1 students" in both subjects, with the printed means and p-values above.

"the exam scores from year 3 students are significantly better than the ones from year 1 students in both subjects of cardiovascular (year 3 = 78.59 ± 0.34, n=25; year 1 = 74.15 ± 9.71, n = 17; p<0.05) and respiratory systems (year 3 = 77.43 ± 6.89, n=25; year 1 = 65.87 ± 14.52, n = 26; p<0.01)"
