Postsemester interview results: summary of significant relationships between tool usage and answer quality, regardless of student group affiliation

Question	Bloom's classification	Tool(s) used by students who gave better answers
8. Can you find the N terminus?	Application	PE only (4 students) OR models only (10 students) (1 of 4 assessors; Kruskal-Wallis P value = 0.050, F-test P value = 0.079)
13. Identify amino acid sidechain residues	Analysis	PE only (4 students) (2 of 4 assessors; Kruskal-Wallis P values = 0.060 and 0.066, F-test P values = 0.187 and 0.185, respectively). Note: 2 students used only the models & 14 students used both PE and the models
14. Identify this biomolecule	Analysis	Models only (12 students) OR models & PE (2 students) (all 4 assessors agreed)

Tool usage groups: PE only, models only, models & PE, no tool. The number of students out of the 20 total interviewed who used each tool is indicated in parentheses after each tool. Cell entry in the final column indicates how many of the 4 assessors found significant relationships between tool usage and answer quality, as well as statistical output.
