Kevin and a student team examined a homework checklist. Their purpose was to help students track tasks. During the first observation, two classes had different timetables. Instead of treating that result as final, the team introduced similar groups next time. In the next observation, the comparison became fairer. The students recorded the conditions of each trial so that later comparisons would not rely on memory alone.
