About this Project

This team really surprised me, in the best way, and was such a delight to work with. They excelled in project design, conducting the experiments, communication with me and between themselves, and were extremely thoughtful in their questions and responses to my answers. They successfully incorporated feedback on their project design and even replicated their experiment when they got unexpected results. From what I can tell, their in-class presentation also looked pretty great. This team did a great job discussing and explaining their rationale, designing their experiment, and incorporating feedback. They were a joy to mentor and a great role model for other teams.
