Evaluation. At the end <strong>of</strong> each session, participants were asked to respond to an evaluation<br />

form. It consisted <strong>of</strong> seven parts. The first five statements required a ranking <strong>of</strong> the individual<br />

statement, one to five. A rank <strong>of</strong> five indicated a strongly agree (SA) response while a rank <strong>of</strong><br />

one indicated a strongly disagree (SD) response. The sixth statement listed several activities<br />

using nine capital letters, A through H. Participants were asked to circle the letters <strong>of</strong> the<br />

activities they enjoyed the most with the understanding that they could circle all letters, if<br />

desired. The seventh statement allowed the teachers a chance to write any additional comments<br />

about the workshop. The results <strong>of</strong> this evaluation, including comments from participants can<br />

be found in pages that follow.<br />

An instructor’s journal was kept regarding each Saturday session. Reflecting on what went<br />

well, what needed more in-depth explanation or coverage and what could have been done<br />

better was the purpose <strong>of</strong> the journal. Further study <strong>of</strong> these notes, immediately following each<br />

session, served to help improve any future workshops presented related to aerospace and flight.<br />
