Thank you for participating in PIXE-PAN 2009! Your candid responses to these questions will be extremely helpful in the effort to continually improve the program. Don't forget to join the PAN and PIXE-PAN Group at FaceBook!
1. Gender: male female 2. My school type: elementary middle school high school and Public Private 3. Grade(s) I will teach in fall 2009: K-6 7-9 10th 11th 12th 4. Highest degree earned: BA/BS now in grad prog MA/MS PhD 5. What certification and/or science courses have you taken in the past two years? 6. To what degree do you feel you benefited from these PIXE-PAN activities? Intro to PIXE-PAN lecture (Stech) not much a little somewhat a lot Intro to Nuc Sciences lecture (Hyder) not much a little somewhat a lot NSL Tour (Stech) not much a little somewhat a lot Radiation Safety Talk (Welding) not much a little somewhat a lot JINA Science (Wiescher) not much a little somewhat a lot PIXE Lab not much a little somewhat a lot XRF Lab not much a little somewhat a lot Astronomy at ND (Howk) not much a little somewhat a lot Radiation Chemistry / DNA (LaVerne) not much a little somewhat a lot Speed of Light Lab not much a little somewhat a lot Compton Lab not much a little somewhat a lot E/M Lab not much a little somewhat a lot Final Report Preparations not much a little somewhat a lot Final Report Presentation not much a little somewhat a lot 7. How much did you learn about the following topics during PIXE-PAN? PIXE itself nothing not much a little some a lot Nuclear Sciences nothing not much a little some a lot Astronomy nothing not much a little some a lot PIXE Applications nothing not much a little some a lot Reports/Presentations nothing not much a little some a lot 8. Did you like the CSI/NCIS research theme? not really a little some a lot 9. Did PIXE-PAN increase your interest in science? not really a little some a lot 10. Will PIXE-PAN influence your career plans or future course selections? not really a little some a lot 11. On a scale from 1 to 5 (1 being the worst or most negative response, while 5 is best or the most positive response), how would you rate the following? Conference and class rooms 1 2 3 4 5 Labs (NSL and Jordan Hall) 1 2 3 4 5 Technical Facilities (computers, etc.) 1 2 3 4 5 12. How do you think we balanced the following aspects of the program? Lectures Would like more Just right Prefer less Experiment Time Would like more Just right Prefer less Time to prepare report & presentations Would like more Just right Prefer less Student-Teacher interaction Would like more Just right Prefer less Student-PIXE-PAN faculty interaction Would like more Just right Prefer less 13. Would you recommend this program to other teachers? definitely probably possibly not sure no 14. Would you recommend this program to your students? definitely probably possibly not sure no 15. Overall, how much did you enjoy the program? not at all a little fairly well a lot it was great 16. How did you find out about PIXE-PAN? 17. What would you suggest to improve future PIXE-PAN programs? 18. What other activities that JINA might offer would be of interest to you? 19. Any other comments / suggestions? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
