Preliminary Research

Additional Research

During final exams in the spring of 1988 several teachers passed out a voluntary survey to students after their course exam. One hundred twenty-two students filled out the surveys but not all answered all the questions. Here is a summary of the attitudes reflected on this survey:
	 107 / 115 (93%) said they enjoyed going to the math lab
              		 at least “sometimes”
	  90 / 112 (78%) said that they enjoyed going to the math lab
        	         with no qualification.
	 119 / 122 (98%) said that the math lab helped them understand 
        	         at least a little better.
	  65 / 122 (53%) said that the math lab helped them understand 
        	         “a lot."

    97% responded that they thought other school should have such a lab.
