Misunderstanding Double Blind Trials
Students often confuse double blind trials with single blind trials, thinking that only one group is unaware of the treatment they receive.
Fix itClarify that in a double blind trial, both the participants and the researchers do not know who receives the treatment or the placebo, ensuring unbiased results.
Misunderstanding Peer Review
Students often confuse the peer review process with the initial testing phase, thinking that results are published immediately after trials without any review.
