Mikiya,

The summary page looks great. Everyone, take a look at the
work Mikiya has done trying to summarize/compare student
electronic notes.

Wasim has also done a lot of work doing a more qualitative
evaluation of the slides.

My feeling at this point is that while we have put in a lot
of effort doing this evaluation of the first live class, we
really cannot treat the data as being that good and to try
to draw some serious conclusions would be premature, possibly
misleading. But this effort in doing the evaluation is giving
us a good indication of what needs to be done.

Mikiya, One thing I noticed that we will have to take into account for
this coming quarter. If you look closely at the slides that
go along a single row, you will notice that they don't always
correspond to the slide that the teacher was writing on. I
think the problem is with the naming scheme used by ClassPad
and the fact that Nick's ClassPad didn't create a slide for a
student if the student didn't write any notes on it.

Great work!
Gregory
