The approach combines various pedagogical methods in an undergraduate, writing-intensive setting: traditional testing but in an iterative framework, “flipped classroom” intensive work using spreadsheet software, repeated submission of brief …

The cost of training, the lack of available training, the distance or transportation to the training, lack of time, and the knowledge …
