Physics 205A fall semester 2019, pre-instruction scores
| Group A: Section 70854 (12:30-3:20 PM lab) | Group B: Section 70855 (4:30-7:20 PM lab) | |
| N | 31 students | 25 students |
| low | 3 | 2 |
| mean | 8.29 ± 4.00 | 9.12 ± 4.96 |
| high | 18 | 20 |
*Excludes students with negative informed consent forms (*.pdf)
Student's t-test of the null hypothesis between pre-test scores from these two lab sections results in p = 0.49 (t = −0.693, sdev = 4.45, degrees of freedom = 54), thus there is a significant difference between the early and late afternoon lab sections.
