The Initial Planning
Questions: What are the students having trouble with? How much information should we give them? What information must we include? What is the best way for us to present this
information? When will Boot Camp take place? What do we need in a location? How much help will we need? Can we do this?

What did you find most useful about Boot Camp?
Anecdotal Data - Faculty
As a tutor in the learning center, I have noticed that we have had fewer students who have needed help logging into their math and chem. homework programs this semester. I do not have any hard data to provide, as we did not keep records of these types of questions. So this is an anecdotal observation. We also did not ask students if they attended the boot camp. However, we have overheard students say that they attended.
Thanks to all who helped with the computer boot camp!
