      Adjusted for systematic factors............................................................
proportion of first-time course takers with passing grades =

e.g., old and new

 + pretest performance + GPA + SAT + instructor + term

      Adjusted for systematic factors............................................................
student performance,
e.g., exam or other graded performance required of all students		 =

learning experience variant,
e.g., old and new

 + pretest performance + GPA + SAT or GMAT + instructor + term
+ site of learning experience,
e.g., GSU or other school
