Write a cautious final explanation
Final thinking task and peer check
The lecture's claim ladder becomes a written answer: report the comparison, explain its limits and identify a useful next check.
Week 1: framing, claims, evidence and reproducibility
Your task
Write 120–160 words, complete the peer check and restart/run all before saving.
Evidence to include
Use your challenge table, identify the row unit and explain what evidence would be needed for a teaching-effect claim.

A manager says: “The programme with the highest pass rate is better, so we should copy its teaching everywhere.”
Write 120-160 words. Use your challenge table, but answer carefully:
- What does the table show?
- What does one row represent?
- What important information is missing?
- Why does a difference not prove that teaching caused it?
- What would you check next?
Write here.
Peer check and submission
Ask a nearby student:
- What does one row in joined represent?
- What is the denominator of pass_rate_by_mode?
- What claim is too strong for this data?
- Reviewer initials: replace
- One improvement I made: replace
Before submitting: Runtime -> Restart session and run all. All outputs must remain visible.
