Appendix F: Evaluation highlights
"The speakers and the tutors at the hands-on sessions were willing to help us with everything. I felt that I would actually learn to do things and not just learn that they existed."
"Possibly the most valuable thing has been the opportunity to talk to more seasoned graduate students and post-docs who have provided me with a wealth of advice and ideas."
"The hands-on session was excellent. I was able to complete the tutorial, understand my results, and begin to ask questions of my own research based on what was taught thus far."
