Class survey results (summary as sent by Qihong Shao)

["Subbarao Kambhampati" <rao@asu.edu>]

Folks

 Here are the results of the survey (thanks to Qihong for converting
the hardcopy datasheets into this). The percentages are color-coded--purple
for cse494; yellow for 598 and some sort of red-magenta for the totals.

Other than the comment regarding slides (which is legitimate.. I often
wind up re-ordering and adding slides after class to reflect things that  happened in the class),
I didn't see any big red-lights. If you do, feel free to alert me either directly or anonymously

regards
Rao

Comments: 

• This discussion is very helpful, I like how the class consists of lectures and discussions. It allows the class to read papers and ask questions in the discussion
• Could you please keep the content/order of the slides more consistant? I found the slides are changing from time to time and I spent quite some time to figure out the differences between the latest version and the one I have printed out and read.
