To match the pre-and-post survey, participants were asked to writetheir e-mail addresses in their responses. Some of the participants did not write their emailaddress and thus, their pre-and-post survey diagrams could not be matched. As a result, pre-and-post survey diagrams from only 24 participants could be matched and analyzed.
