Statistical analyses determined that the demographic variables of gender and<br />

class (three different Communications classes completed the survey) had significant<br />

differences for some outcome variables. Therefore, these variables were put into<br />

every ANOVA test as covariates to control for these differences. Note: the class<br />

variable was put in as the dummy variable (dumclass), where 0 = class 1 and class 2<br />

and 1 = class 3 because class 3 was significantly different from the other two classes.
