This week's SAS tip is from Phil Mason and his ever-helpful book In the Know...SAS Tips and Techniques From Around the Globe, Second Edition.

Wer kennt das nicht, diesen Gedanken auf der Autobahn, wenn man lauter rote Bremslichter sieht: Was wollen die alle ausgerechnet hier?! Dabei hat man doch selbst alles richtig gemacht im Vorfeld. Morgens früh aufgestanden. Wetterbericht kurz nochmal gecheckt. Grünes Licht: Blue Sky ist angesagt, Neuschnee über Nacht. Hinzu kommt: Kein

Welcome to Part 3 of the value-added Myth Busters blog series. I have heard a variation of this many times. “Why shouldn’t educators just use a simple gains approach or a pre- and post-test?
