NWADIMMA: Intuition: "More so than I did before worksheet

CHRISTY: It's funky!

WINNY: Cool Cookbook!

JOSH: This one's easy! I like it.

LOUANNE: I think that I haven't spent enough time outside class on the
material (before I have been busy) that I do not have a firm grasp on
this.

JENNIFER: I wasn't here for the first part of the activity so it
hasn't helped that much. Most of the other activities have helped a
lot.

JOHN D: Once again great activity, but doing for HW is an inadequate
way of finishing it.

PETER: "This was a good activity; I need to work at it alittle more
before I really understand the Taylor Series, but this gave me a good
general idea of the material.

RICK: Group work is a good addition to lecture. I have a hard time
thinking clearly in this classroom however.

JON: I missed day oen of the activity, so I have to play 'catch up'
today. I thought this activity was OK, but I enjoy the story-oriented
projects more, like the Pond Project, etc. This was like HW.

JOSH W: It was more stimulating than interesting. I also can
understand doing most of the problems, but I don't understand the
theory very much.

HEATHER: If I wasn't up at 7 [am] this morning, I'd probably
understnad more. I got it yesterday [Activity was done yesterday, Wed,
and today, Thurs, in my 12:20pm section -- Harel]

SPYRO: Activities of this type are beneficial.

CARLOS: It's good to practice problems in class.

MARK B: I felt that only half of my group actually did anything. Pete
and I were the only ones who actually tried to solve the problems [Two
others were Spyro and Carlos (Carlos tried..)]

LIZ: Too many tricks.

MICHELE: Many people are lost. [Note: Michele did well, gave fairly
good scores (4,3,3), and helped Kathy (who gave the only "1" rating)
in her group, also John D, a fair amount of help --Harel]

KATHY: This has been the most difficult concept to grasp this far!
