gets the question and has a month to do a synthesis research/lit review paper.
Does anyone know whether women would test differently given these two methods?
It seems to me that the timed short answer style is less amenable to women's
aculturated learning processes, and I think I've read something on this before,
but can't remember where or when.
Any help?
