At the start of each semester, Term 4 had 64 students enrolled and Term 3 had 101 students enrolled. One student withdrew from Term 4 and four students withdrew from Term 3. N = total number of student responses for each survey question. For exam performance, n = number of students that completed both midterm-1 and midterm-1. SD = standard deviation. Summative exam performance represents the average percent correct in the class for the questions analyzed. Mann U Whitney tests were used to compare responses between groups. P values are shown for each category. Bold categories were statistically significantly difference between the groups.
= p is less than 0.05,
= p is less than 0.01, and
= p is less than 0.001.
