(A web-based evaluation feedback facility will be implemented soon.)

Key:
NA = not applicable
1 = strongly disagree
2 = disagree
3 = neither agree nor disagree
4 = agree
5 = strongly agree

How well did it work?
1a. The tutorial was easy to follow. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1b. It was obvious when to play the movies. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1c. The movies downloaded in a timely manner. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1d. The movies were clear and easy to follow. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1e. The play, fast-forward, rewind and pause functions were useful. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1f. The data files associated with the movies were useful. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1g. The Java applet worked. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1h. I learned something by using the Java applet. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1i. I was able to reset the Java applet and re-run the simulation. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1j. I was able to answer the questions following the simulation in the Java applet. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1k. Using this instructional module was better than the actual, live, experimental lab. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1l. It would still be useful to do the actual experiment myself. NA 1 2 3 4 5
1m. It would help to have a TA around when I used this module. NA 1 2 3 4 5
How much did I learn?
2a. The introduction gave a clear understanding of the learning objectives. NA 1 2 3 4 5
2b. The pace and level of this module was too advanced for my background. NA 1 2 3 4 5
