So, let’s say that you’ve probably heard of an ‘institutional review board’ before, say because you are a hegemonic defense contractor of educational content slurry. Would you think that it’s a good idea or an awesome idea to do a little quiet psychological experimentation on a few thousand students?
For extra credit, the ‘no intervention’ group outperformed both of the intervention groups.
Yes, thank you. Same paper title(curiously said paper doesn’t seem to be up, even behind a paywall, yet); and same software platform and target size.
Also same cringeworthy encouragement stimuli:
Getting drippingly saccharine slime like “Some students tried this question 26 times! Don’t worry if it takes you a few tries to get it right.” when just trying to work out a CS problem set you drive me to my best imitation of the Barbie “math is hard!” and/or drink pretty quickly.
