This article in Science claims to have preregistered its study, but I cannot find any link to a preregistration either in the article or in the supplemental material. There isn't even mention of what platform was used in to preregister. WTF? www.science.org/doi/full/10....

The reason it caught my eye is that the effects are small, noisy, and only appear in some groups. Also, a lot of one-way tests are employed (which is not well justified IMHO).

If real, looks like effect is driven by low performing first year students?

(H/T @stephenjwild.bsky.social) Apparently, the preprint had a link to the preregistration, but it was dropped in the final version. This is why I don't like overly aggressive word counts. aspredicted.org/8dv5-qd78.pdf
