Suggestions/comments from the 2000 survey:
Thanks. Yes, I'd like to include head to head competition. Maybe we can do this in 2001.
Glad you like the format. I agree, a wrap up day would be good.
It is definitely a graduate course, but I enjoy having bright undergrads join in.
It is important for everyone do do a presentation, but we can probably have two students present on some days, leaving more lecture days for the instructor.
This was my original vision for the course. I plan to have robots for next year.
OK, sounds reasonable.
I regret that I was not able to get the assignments back faster. If only I had a TA!
