The administration of the midterm exam was not standardized across the two course sections, as the exam conditions were different for Aliyah and Ishmael. The lecture occurring in the next room during Aliyah's exam created a distraction that was not present during Ishmael's exam, which could have affected the fairness and validity of the exam results.
