statisticallysignificant difference at α = 0.05. It should be noted that these grades are reasonable for agraduate course since a C is generally considered unsatisfactory at the graduate level. As ameasure of practical significance, the experienced instructor’s assessment of student quality isthat the latter class was on average a weaker group—which makes their better performance evenmore significant. The students learned the material in a better way using modern tools, in a waythey will remember better, and in a way that will help them get a job. This is far more importantthan the improved test scores.The students were highly engaged in the 2013 class; they felt that learning the material usingspreadsheets was a job skill that they could market.
