2. Mid project review

How have the students reacted to the experiment(s) so far?
The reactions have been fairly positive as the students have understood demonstrations, explanations and terminologies more easily than previously, mainly due to the students being able visualise objects and drawings in the physical sense rather than only in a two dimensional state.






What are the outcomes and benefits so far?


The students are learning to visualise more easily and this in turn is helping them gain, improve and develop skills and confidence, which will help them to find work and progress,






What do you need to do between now and July 2009, to achieve the outcomes?



To complete the models, add to the range of models and look into the options of applying these in an electronic format.
