Table 3: Level of feeling informed from students in Muenster and Luebeck before and in Muenster after the elective course measured on a 5-Point-Likert-Scale (1=not at all up to 5=very well) regarding certain topics. Since a Likert-scale is classified as metric, the data allows calculations of the mean and standard deviation per item. Means, standard deviations, Cohen’s d and results from paired t-tests are presented. The number of participants fluctuates because the ratings “donīt know” was not taken into consideration. Paired t-Tests were only calculated in the cases where measured values were available at the pre and post time points (n=27).
