Candid Student Reports

The following reports were written by members of Shodor Scholars Program during the ninth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed/edited for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

Nitin, Vishal, and Artem

Today's research was very interesting. We were challenged today becuase of all the twists in making the presentation and making the new molecule. We had to re-evlaute some of our information. Overall, it was a profuctive day

Matt

today i really enjoyed codeing, and working on my model, also i was happy the blinds were up

Sammy

Today we worked on our models again, and ours seems to be shaping up well. However, we didn't proove anything very interesting.

Alex

I liked coding today.

Luke

I have to say that that PowerBook G4 is a sweet box. But, seriously, it was blazing fast and was excellent for running the GalaxSee model. It was definatly the best part of the day to see the model running at a decent clip. Bad parts? There weren't any really.

Molly

our day was really cool. we got to work on our projects all day. i worked on our power point . we got really far. tomorrow is presentation day.

Francine

We finished our presentation and model, and we practiced. It was okay, but there still is some room for improvement. Only 24 hours left till the actual presentation... My plan for tonight is to make index cards, and speking LOUDER....

Morgan

Today our project ran a lot smoother. Bob2 helped us find a direction to run in with our project. We created our project and finishing touches will be put on tomorrow. I really appreciated Bob's help in this project.

Amanda

The project is coming along well. I am not nervous at all. Of course, today is not tomorrow.

Nick

I finally got the hang of our model today, and found a lot of the variables we needed, so things are going well. It's still giving bizarre results, but I now have a good idea of why it might be doing so (oversimplification, bad input). The presentation is scary but I'm sure I'll learn from it.

Kate

We worked some more on the presentation today. I think the slides are looking good and hope we will be ready tomorrow, though it would be nice to have our last graph finnihed. I think that this was a very good amount of time for prepraing our presentation. Tomorrow should be fun.

Hniang

I think it is really hard to work on our project. As we choose astrophysics, there are a lot of work to make done. We are not ready for now but we are going to try to be ready tomorrow morning. I can't wait for tomorrow.

Symone

Today was the last full day to work on the projects. I feel confident in our project because we prepared and because we had a lot of help. I hope it goes well so, as Bob2 would say, I can turn my brain off!!!!

David

We have made great progress on our project, so not much to complain about. Bob Two and Jacob are still helping a lot, and Dr. Love helped us a lot with our model.

Michael

Hard to complain when it's all independent. Bob & Jacob are still great.
