Hi Vesa
Thanks for your question. Actually, all students passed within 3 attempts. That is because they collaborated in working through the questions. As good Operational Forecasters should do :-)
Final stats for the 50 students of 2023: 6 completed the SATIN project with 100% at the first attempt. 28 students completed the SATIN project with 100% at the second attempt. 16 students completed the SATIN project with 100% at the third attempt. I suspect that with the great feedback from CALMET XV attendees the statistics will be even better for next year's SATIN project :-)
Of course, there is always a great diversity amongst 50 students so you will always get the "super confident" and the "super nervous" within the "toes" of the collective Gaussian curve. But collaboration helps a lot. The one subset of students who struggled were those who were "super nervous" and "super introvert". It was then up to the teacher (me) to assist these students by asking questions that encouraged their reasoning. And by setting up a three-way conversation with a more extrovert student sitting in the adjacent seat.
The student who failed three attempts would need to sit a supplementary SATIN quiz. But that would require soooo much more extra work on their part. So, this gave all students the motivation to apply themselves and to collaborate in order to "get through" within three attempts. Cheers Bodo. PS. and let's face it, Operational Forecasting can be a very stressful occupation at times. Therefore, as teachers we do need to build up the student's resilience.
