6. Use this space for any comments you may have about your discussion, lab, or recitation, etc.

• The labs were fine, but the course itself did not seem to really accomplish anything.
• We should learn more about databases and other web based programming before this class.
• Unfortunately there was little information presented in lecture for Darby to integrate into recitation. Luckily she was able to help us with our projects week after week.

7. I had met all the specified prerequisites for the course.
