The study was completed at a top-tier research universityusing data from a 100 level undergraduate engineering mechanical design course. The coursewas chosen because it was taught by the same instructor with the same material for 6 consecutivesemesters with alternating start times; it was offered at 8:00AM in the Fall semester and12:30PM in the Spring semester.
