The analysis provides a process for simplifying data interpretation in captured student user feedback. Findings indicate that student classifications, as measured by demographic and other factors, determine satisfaction levels towards various web sources of information. Differences in satisfaction levels across student groups based on gender, age, minority status, employment, and current course load were found. Implications for university web designers and university administrators are considered and discussed.

They offer active learning for the student, they engage the student's problem solving skills, and are easily applied to collaborative projects. They also allow the teachers to observe how the student is learning the objective. This workshop uses the Finch from Carnegie Mellon's CREATE lab and Jython to create introductory programs for CS0 students. The IDE used is JES (Jython Environment for Students) version created for the Finch. The Finch is an affordable robot and this JES version has the compiler, IDE, and Finch libraries in one convenient download. The participants will be provided with a Finch and two introduction programs.
