Simulation Exercise

The simulation part worked really well. Most of the students seemed to be very enthusiastic with completing the exercise. I think the prospect of receiving a prize was most of the driving force behind the excitement. All the groups except for one followed the directions on the worksheet and tried to slowly increment the variable to find the best solution. The students all used the worksheet to keep track of their findings which is a good practice that was not present in the previous days.

Observations for today are in the attached file.

The Observation Form I filled out is attached.

Here are a few points I thought could help:

For Tuesday's workshop I watched one of the students (Johan) and observed how he interacted with the program, his partner, and the instructors. I must say, he was extremely entertaining to watch.
