Real outcomes
It's not the design.
It's the grade.
Research methods students lose points for one wrong methodological choice, an IRB that missed vulnerable populations, or a mixed methods design that didn't justify integration. AskSia tightens those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For qualitative methods I dropped 60 pages on grounded theory into AskSia. Got coding strategies walked through with examples. Aced the methods section of my thesis.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The Mock Exam mode generated research methods short answers with rubric grading. Caught me confusing reliability with validity before the real final.
