Results: before the intervention 16/204 students (7.8%) scored ≥ 7. After the intervention 160/204 students (78.4%) achieved this score. The proportion of students who scored ≤ 5 went from 49/204 (24%) to 1/204 (0.5%). Four students maintained their initial score. The average knowledge gain after a single move was 38.5%.
