3. Postdoctoral Program - MSRI

Evaluation #7
1. What were the benefits of attending this type of institute?
The educational benefit for me was having exposed to clear and precise explanation
of the purpose of mathematics. The everyday challenge to think logically opened new
pathways of thinking and struggling to explore other ways of looking at math problems.
I feel invigorated mentally and I have a better understanding concerning where I would
like to go from here.
2. What improvements do you suggest? Please be specific.
3. What would you like to see happen during the Saturday sessions? How
would you like them organized? Please be specific. Consider format, topics,
etc.
More hands on involvement often explanation of each topic.
4. What are you going to implement/change in your classroom because of
what have you learned in this institute?
I going to start a math club during my lunch time. I also will connect with my peer
who also gained from this time of growth. I have also purchased extra copies and also
downloaded copies of Dr Wu’s work to share with my colleagues. Everything that I have
learned will be used to implement a change in thinking and approach to mathematics at
my school.
5. Are you planning to work with colleagues in your school who have not
attended the institute? What are your specific plans to implement this?
As I stated in question #4, I will share what I have gained and hopefully next time
this program is offered some more of my colleagues will have the pleasure of attending.
6. Do you have to report to an administrator/district/school personnel
employee with a summary of what you did during the institute? If you, whom
will you report to and how?
I will report to the administrator of my school and it will be with excitement that
this institute can profoundly change anyone who is willing to want change and appreciate
growth and clarity exponentially.
