Did the undergrads actually receive significantly ~lower~ grades?
Yes, that was my reading of the research.

No, as I tell my students, most IT projects fail, even if you do the
technical bits right. They usually go wrong due to a failure to
understand who the client was and what they needed, not because of some
technical detail.

Yes, some people make better teachers than others, but training can
still help most. If the training includes testing, we can keep some of
the really poor teachers away from students by failing them.
