The stud::nts were given ten minutes at the end of the four-hour period to write unsigned critiques of the exercise. A summary of the critiques is as follows: "Of the 44 critique forms returned (one student was called out to a conference with his advisor), 28 were definitely favor- able, 4 were somewhat favorable, 5 were neutral (including one which was both favorable and unfavorable), 2 were somewhat negative, and 5 were negative. Judging from the handwriting, most or all of the girls gave. favorable responses. Many of the critiques agreed that it was wearing work to be buried so deeply into maps, and a number suggested giving the program in, perhaps, 2-hour dos es, which would also improve retention. As one would expect from critique forms, there were some topics in which a small number of people took diametrically opposed views. Those who wanted an introductory film before beginning work on the program were almost balanced by those who stated they wanted no film; those who felt it was boring were balanced by those who felt it was exciting; those who felt it was too detailed were balanced by those who felt it was well paced on the whole. As usual, also, a few disagreed with themselves -- in a few instances saying the program was too de- tailed, and then complaining that a minor definition had been omitted. A significant number felt that an hour's introductory lecture would make them feel more at home with the program, though there were some who felt that, once they got used to the programmed format, they had no need for a lecture.
