"TOSS-UP" QUESTIONS

NOTE:Use Back side of sheet if necessary

1) Did you find your project both interesting and accessible? In other words, did you have fun and understand what was going on?

2) Was the amount of time spent on actual "hands-on research" compared to that spent on computer work (e-mail, etc.), poster presentation preps, meetings, etc. a good balance (i.e., was your project too long or too short)?

3) Briefly describe your relationships with your mentors. Were your mentors supportive, available, helpful, etc.?

4) If you had to reorganize the basic daily schedule that was followed (group morning meeting, lab work, group lunch, lab work until 4:30 pm, afternoon and evening sessions, etc.), what would you change?

5) Sessions were held most evenings. Was that a good thing or would you have liked more FREE time? If so, what would you have done in your FREE time?

6) Did SESEY help you to get a better idea of career opportunities in science and engineering, and of college choices and applicable majors?

7) Would you now consider engineering as a college major and possible carreer? Which field of study are you currently most interested in pursuing and was that influenced by SESEY?

8) After a week at OSU, what are your general impressions of the university? Would you consider OSU for your college career? Why or why not and was that influenced by SESEY.

COMMENTS: Please give an honest appraisal of the strong and weak points of the SESEY program (i.e., what worked well and what could we do better).
