Ceteris paribus

All the variables the same, except the one you want to check. That's the corner stone of experiments. In the real world that's not easy, particularly when it involves human beings.

This study Ada vs C seems quite fair. C is very bug prone and I can imagine students fighting with pointers bugs, array out of bounds etc.  Nevertheless there may be many factors that can be out of control. One of them may be the even unconscious teacher's attitude.
