Management

Please comment on the adequacy of the following items. You may suggest any alternative that you would find more convenient.

• Was this course offered at an appropriate time?

  22	Yes.
  1	Requires me to leave work early, which is sometimes difficult. I work near the airport, so it is a long trip to get here.
  1	5-8 pm would be great.
  1	Yes. Once per week after work was great.
  1	Yes. In sequence would be great.
  1	Maybe.
  1	The 4pm start time was a little early. I had to leave work ahead of schedule.

• Would you prefer to take this course downtown?

  7	Yes.
  15	No
  1	Yes!
  1	Yes. Would be great.
  1	Either place is fine.
  1	Yeah, I am at PSU often.
  1	Yes (I live in downtown).

• Were classroom and audiovisual equipment adequate?

  28

  Yes.

• Were computing accounts and services satisfactory?

  21	Yes.
  2	N/A.
  1	Yes (not required for me).
  1	Never try at OCATE.
  1	I never used.

• Were you able to easily reach (in person, by e-mail, etc.) the instructor?

  28

  Yes.

• Was the reading material adequate?

  16	Yes.
  1	No - poorly written textbook.
  1	I feel the slides could be improved with more written material. They are very brief, and when the book is weak it is hard to capture the intent of a pattern.
  1	Yes - probably the GoF book would have been a better textbook.
  2	No.
  1	Would recommend GoF book as well.
  1	No - Bad book.
  1	No, the book was confusing in parts.
  1	Yes - could use a better book.
  1	Yes, but another book would be good too.
  1	No, more material is required.
  1	Yes & no (more explanation might help for most patterns).

• Was the course well organized?

  23	Yes.
  1	I feel that we need not cover all the patterns. It will be better to study 20-25 more useful patterns in bit more detail.
  1	Too many materials. Maybe we can select the most important thing to present in class.
  1	Almost.
  1	Yes, but I would prefer more weight toward assignments.
  1	Yes, but the prescribed textbook is not good.
