Overview of Lab Comments: Lab was a pretty good introduction, pretty good pace, no need to go any faster or slower

Page and refresh the lab. Although this might not happen with the faster lab computers, it might prove difficult for some people’s personal computers. Perhaps if it’s a shorter code with no comments the instructor made, students can simply copy the code themselves.

Overview of Lab Comments: I think this lab is a useful and well-paced introduction to Snap!. I was unable to go through the lab as I had wanted to, however, due to the code not loading. Based on the descriptions, I think students will enjoy this lab, and the provided figures and videos are very helpful.

File doesn’t end up loading. I suspect this may be an issue with my laptop personally and the problem might be avoided on lab machines.

Essentially, whenever a link is provided to Snap! Code, the page never loads and crashes the lab page unless the tab attempting to load the code is closed early enough.

Overview of Lab Comments: Lab goes at a nice, moderate pace really allowing each section to be understood by the student. Videos are also really helpful. I also could not open the starter files like those above, which I think was really the only issue.

[Meghna15]

Your Name: Meghna Dasgupta

Overview of Lab Comments: The pace of the lab is perfect however I think there is too much content for students to finish the entire lab in just two hours. The videos were both interesting and relevant so they served as a good introduction to the different concepts.

As mentioned before, the only major issue with this lab was the defective links to the Snap! files. Every time I clicked on a link, it made my page unresponsive and I had to reload the page several times during the lab.

It might be useful to include examples of when you would choose the other option.

Just another note on the lab in general: it seems like a lot of material, which I guess is necessary this early on. Just saying.

Your Name: Michelle Chen

Overview of Lab Comments: Lab is clear and easy to follow along. Slides to switch roles is a really nice reminder to get partners equal time to work with snap. Lab is a bit lengthy, but I think it's doable in the 2 hour time frame. Most links to starter blocks are broken.

[keehansullivan]

Your name: Sean Keehan Sullivan

Overview of Lab Comments: Lab went well and did not seem to have a too fast or too slow pace, as mentioned in multiple comments before me, many of the links were broken and would cause my computer to lag and google chrome to become unresponsive. The majority of the lab could be done without the links, however saying to use the link and the links not working can be confusing and misleading. definitely doable in the 2hours of lab.

Type of Issue: broken link

Severity: inconvenience.

comments: the link on the page does not work, cannot access the starter file, but the students can create the starter file themselves.

[sayabe]

Your Name: Satoko Ayabe

Overview of Lab Comments:

• Putting GIFs is an awesome idea (helpful and fun to watch)
• We could add a small "don't hesitate to ask your lab assistants/TAs for help" reminder at the middle of lab/near difficult questions because this lab is really long.
• [ ] Page Link: http://beautyjoy.github.io/bjc-r/cur/programming/loops/for/for.html?1&1&1&topic=berkeley_bjc%2Fintro_pair%2F2-loops-variables.topic&novideo&noreading&noassingment&course=cs10_sp15.html       Type of Issue: lack of clarity       Severity: minor inconvenience       Comments: "As with the repeat block, you can change the numbers it comes with by default to change the way the block repeats." --> "As with the repeat block, you can change the parameter (the default is 10) to change how many times the inner script repeats". In my opinion, the 2nd one would be clearer to the students.

The large number of pages makes the lab look intimidating (seeing alonzo barely moving on the bottom bar).

Your Name: Caroline Kim

Overview of Lab Comments: The lab has great descriptions that walk the students through each step carefully. Towards the end of the lab, the coding problems seem to get a little difficult (compared to the complexity of the other codes in the front section of the lab), which might overwhelm some students.

• [ ] Page Link: http://beautyjoy.github.io/bjc-r/cur/programming/loops/repeat-n/introduction-to-repeat-n.html?topic=berkeley_bjc%2Fintro_pair%2F2-loops variables.topic&novideo&noreading&noassingment&course=cs10_sp15.html Type of Issue: The link does not work. Severity: Minor inconvenience. Even though the link is broken, students can copy the code manually to their snap program to see the function of the repeat block. Comments: Since the link to the example script does not work, changing the link to so that the students can exactly test out the script would be helpful.
• [ ] Page Link: http://beautyjoy.github.io/bjc-r/cur/programming/loops/repeat-n/draw-regular-star.html?1&topic=berkeley_bjc%2Fintro_pair%2F2-loops-variables.topic&novideo&noreading&noassingment&course=cs10_sp15.html Type of Issue: The link does not work. Severity: The broken link requires the students to copy the example code manually, which can lead to more time spent in the lab. Comments: Providing a new link that contains the base code would save students’ time, and allow them to work on more important lab tasks.

[KimiaG]

Your Name: Kimia Ghodoosian

Overview of Lab Comments: Overall good. Frankly, I feel that the videos are unnecessary and even detract from the lab since they're too simplistic to convey any new information and take up unnecessary time in an already long lab. Also, because videos aren't used in other labs (to my knowledge) it just seems random to put them here, although code.org is a great resource that students should be made aware of. Bug dance feels random. My TA had the entire class skip that slide and come back to it if we had time (most didn't).

[jessej-luo]

Your Name: Jesse Luo

Overview of Lab Comments: Lab seems pretty good, explains all the necessary functions very well so that gets rid of a lot of guess work. I feel that the videos don't specifically enhance the experience too much since most of the people who are in CS10 are here to learn this language of programming. I remember when I watched the video I felt they didn't really offer anything new or explorative, they were kinda just there.

In general, a lot of the links in the beginning are having issues loading. I think the lab is really good, the GIFs that illustrate what to do are really nice and make the lab a lot more understandable.

      Type of Issue: Link loads to white page on Safari       Severity: not severe, and I assume students are told to not use Safari anyhow.       Comments: works on Chrome just fine, maybe you should add a reminder next to links periodically reminding people of which browsers work.

Your Name: Rocio Guerrero

Overview of Lab Comments: The lab is pretty lengthy, but it had good explanations for the different topics and terms it covered. I think the exercises are very enjoyable, therefore a great way to introduce computer science ideas. The rotate block's arrows are also different in Snap! from the pictures in lab. I personally don't think it's a major problem, though. Moreover, I think the videos were inspiring. I remember watching it the first time and seeing celebrities talk about coding got me even more excited about the course.

Name: Justin Kim

Overview of the Lab comments: The lab is on a good pace to start for both people of little programming skills or very experienced skills. I like the concept of working with partners. Some students may like to work alone, because they are individuals or partner is sometimes absent, but encouraging students to work together is nice. I like the interactive picture movements for some of blocks. It really helps students to visualize some of the parts of the block. The questions also seem really helpful for students to help getting thinking more logically of coding.

Your Name: Amy Vatcha

Overview of Lab Comments:

• Lab was informative but long and may be slightly overwhelming for the second lab, realistically finishing it in entirety during lab hours would be highly improbable
• Liked the reminders about pair programming
• Many snap links to starter files did not work on my computer (maybe because I was using Chrome?) for the draw house buggy file, the six sided die file, and the specific ones listed below (Don't remember encountering this problem when I used the lab comps last semester).
• [ ] Page Link: http://snap.berkeley.edu/snapsource/snap.html#open:http://www.corsproxy.com/beautyjoy.github.io/bjc-r/prog/loop/draw-squirral.xml       Type of Issue: Link didn't load after multiple attempts       Severity: Minor Inconvenience       Comments: Maybe not having a new starter file every couple of pages would be preferred? Link did not load even after reloading the page several times.

Overview of Lab Comments: Although I found this lab pretty lengthy, I think it does cover a lot of introductory concepts necessary for coding. So if possible, I think it would be a lot more doable and less intimidating (considering this is only Lab2) if it were split into two labs. I also like having the pages in between sections reminding people to switch roles because it is a good way to encourage students to work in pairs. Adding videos of celebrities made the labs more interesting and served as good breaks from reading the text.

Your Name: Jiazhen Chen

Overview of Lab Comments: I like the new pages added to remind the pair progamming. The whole lab is good but in deed a bit long. I remember when I do this lab I can't finish the last crazy flower challenge. It requires a bit time to solve it. And the final checkoff didn't require that code. So maybe tag it as a takehome challenge or just for fun?

" I'm not sure I think that it should be "other than what the programmer intended."

[Stantlers]

Your Name: Stanley Ho Overview of Lab Comments: I really liked how interesting the lab has become with the gifs, and the gif also helped show how to do things. I also like how there is literally a page dedicated to telling the students to switch with their partner, duty wise. Pace wise I think that there is quite a bit of things to read and do.

Your Name: Melanie Silva

Overview of Lab Comments: I think it was a great lab which shows students off the bat what cool things programming can do (sort of like a hook). The moving images and videos proved very helpful when completing the lab.

Your Name: Charles Thorson

Overview of Lab Comments:

Overall, it is a solid lab that helps the students gain a grasp on the fundamentals in snap programming. I liked how visually appealing the lab became compared to the previous year.

I think its missing a word between "the" and "you," and is most likely something like "editor."

[papratt]

Your Name: Paige Pratt

Overall I think the lab was very well paced and that students will be able to finish on time. Maybe there should be only one started file though, since there are a lot of little ones that are hard to save.

What does it mean that it pauses the other blocks? If there was more of an explanation for that I think it would make students less confused about the block and more willing to use it more often.

I thought that this lab was a good way to introduce students to creating blocks in Snap. I do agree with the others that consolidating all the links into one starter file would be helpful for the students, especially when saving. Also the following link was not working properly.

[chnicoloso]

Your Name: Christian Lista-Nicoloso

Overview of Lab Comments: This lab was well paced, very clear in it's explanations and made a good job of reminding students to practice pair programming. However, it seemed to me that a lot of students didn't get to the latter (more interesting) parts of the lab because they got stocked in the geometry sections, which are not necessarily the most important part.

[janicechui]

This lab introduces the process of blocks very clearly, and there was just the right amount of information learnt. The purpose of the dancing bug was a little unclear and seemed irrelevant to the previous shape drawing exercises.

[Rshahatit]

Your Name: Rami Shahatit

Overview of Lab Comments:This lab was a good introduction to the course. Students will like the ease of the pace and the ease of the material. I like how it is starting to train their brains to use math and the familiarize themselves with the different blocks.

I didn't find any issues with this lab. Seeing as it is the first I like the way it is.
