The following (emails) were written by members of the Astronomy & Astrophysics, Summer 2000 during the fifth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.
We finished our projects today and presented them. I really had a great time here and look forward
to coming here a week later for computer science.

TODAY WE PRESENTED OUR PROJECTS. NAN AND I DID A REPORT ON BLACK HOLES. IT WAS A POWER POINT
PRESENTATON. I THINK THAT IT WENT FAIRLY WELL. AT THE END OF THE DAY WE GOT SHIRTS AND A DIPLOMA.

great but went better than i expected i.e. i wasn't a total wreck. so, overall, it was pretty cool
and the week was awesome

Today we finished our projects and presented them. Bob2 gave us lots of constructive criticism. I
really enjoyed learning about astronomy and astrophysics and I can't wait for environmental
science next week.

Today we did a lot of stuff. Dayu and myself created our Galactic Study Project. At 2:30 p.m., it
was time for us to present it to the entire staff of Shodor. I think that our presentation went
well (the others did too). This class was really informative and I learned alot. Hopefully, I will
be able to take this class again next year. Thank You, Shodor Education Foundation.

Today, we all did our presentations and Bob 2 gave us lots of "constructive" criticism. The best report was probably Ronnie & Nan's, about black holes. Ours (cometary impact) went pretty much smoothly, except when Dave started asking questions that had almost nothing to do with our topic!!! anyways...
The entire workshop was very fun, and I learned a lot. Please have it next year so I can come
again!!!
