1998-1999 PhysicsLAB Survey

This is a summary comparing student responses to each of the survey questions asked of physics students at Mainland High School who participated in the PhysicsLAB project during the first two years of the DOE Challenge Grant. In addition to these questions which were rated by each student, there were also free response questions. These answers can be accessed for each respective year: 1997-1998 and 1998-1999

In each chart, the left-hand (maroon) column shows the student responses on the 1997-1998 survey; while those in the right-hand (dark green) column are the student responses from this year's 1998-1999 survey.

Question 1 (revised: "index" = "agenda")

It was useful to refer to the PhysicsLAB site's daily agenda pages to keep me informed of assignments.
