Candid Student Reports

The following reports were written by members of Shodor Scholars Program during the first 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.

Sammy

Today I thought that the lesson was interesting and that it kept the students involved. I feel like I learned a good deal about basic computer applications.

Morgan

Todays program was enjoyable. The lessons were interesting and the intermitent humor was definitely a welcome addition. I have never taken a computation mathematics class, so today was a good crash course in computers.

Hniang & Francine

We learned about computers and how they work, shodor partners, and we are glad to be here.

Matt

I enojoyed parts of todays program that were revent to learning about the nature of computers and how the are fundamentaly flawed in some ways, and how far we really have to come as far as computing speed. and i also enjoyed the educational parts with learning about how to better use excel.

Nitin

1) The activities in the computer 2) It should go a little faster 3) It was a lot of fun and I am lookng forward to do more activites

Michael

It was boring to sit and listen to the talk because we couldnt follow along about the different math and the equations.The activities were a lot of fun!

Nick

1. I liked the coding part, and didn't know how easy it was to do it. 2. Go a little faster! 3. I now really have a good idea of what we'll be doing over the next few weeks; I really didn't know what to expect before. You haven't yet lowered my expectations.

David

I liked that we played games. I think the time could be shorter.

Vishal

I liked the idea for students to have hands on experience with computational sciences. It makes the calculations involved in sciences interesting. I cannot find anything that needs improvement.
