this is a case where i think it is very helpful to have students actually do some hand calculations ... and, if you make say a simple 2 by 3 design ... with only maybe 3 Ss in each cell AND, make sure the cell means and row and column means (and grand mean) work out nice and whole number neat ... it is easy (sans interaction term raw calculation) to have them find the SS components and do the actual 2 way anova ...

then, you could have them use some software ... enter the data table the right way (depending on how your software lays data out) and see the output and compare to their hand calculations

what i usually do is to give them this as an inclass hands on exercise handout ... we have the table and data in the table ... find the cell, row, column and grand means ... make a graph ... speculate on what is happening ... THEN do the SS calculations and the summary table ... THEN see how software would handle it

another thing that is useful is to use a cell mean table that ... if you plot with one factor on the baseline and the other in the graph ... and REVERSE the orderings .... that you will see a crossover pattern one way and ... NOT a crossover pattern the other way ... which shows that (as i learned the hard way) the pattern we see with a crossover where we "usually" say there is an interaction ... may not be evident when independent variables are reversed for plotting ...

terms like ordinal INTERACTION or DISORDINAL interaction are just descriptions of the graphs ... and NOT the interactions themselves .... long ago, don burrill "straightened" me out on this score
