Students provided self-assessment of CTskills at the beginning of the course (pre-course assessment), and at the end of the course (post-course assessment). Students also provided a retrospective pre-test score, where they were askedto self-assess CT skills by reflecting back on their level of skill prior to taking the course.Students in Course 2 provided self-assessment of CT skills at the end of the course through aretrospective pre-test and a post-test. Matched sample T-tests were conducted to determinewhether there was a difference in students’ post-test skill
