11. Performance Commentary Copyright © 2013 - Curt Hill The Blue Ribbon class was 2010 –Of the seven who started, six finished, four have IT jobs today The class of 2013 is the second best of the classes and usually finishes close to that of 2010 –Does this class have the raw talent? This is a long way from educational research standards but suggests that this may be a promising approach

12. Work Copyright © 2013 - Curt Hill This was much more labor intensive than previous editions All the PowerPoints existed from previous classes –Delivering them is no-brainer Generating quiz questions and more demonstrations did turn out to be real work Almost like a first offering of a class

13. Commentary Copyright © 2013 - Curt Hill The advent of IVN for this class killed numerous in-class exercises in groups VCSU Web Tools allowed something similar to be re-introduced The level of in-class interaction is not yet to where it should be
