Give your classmates feedback

Give your classmates two pieces of warm feedback and two pieces of cool feedback after you explore their project (read their website, complete their webquest, listen to their podcast, etc...)
Your post should be in this format:
List the names of the group members you are reviewing, their project format (website, movie, etc.)
List your names.
Two pieces of warm feedback. This feedback should be specific, and phrased like "I liked that you..."
Two pieces of cool feedback. This should also be specific, and should be phrased like "For improvement, I would suggest..." Be polite and constructive with cool feedback.

Jane Chuprin, Bianka Lazarus, Joey Gillespie - website. Reviewers: Madeleine Higgins, Janice Bautista. Warm: We liked that you included a lot of great information and went in depth on even more complicated topics like the superstring theory. Impressive! Good job making it conversational as well as informative. Cool: Maybe you could include a few more pictures/ diagrams, and more on the current atomic model. Overall, really great job though.

The website was really informative and included many different experiments which helped explain the founding of the atomic model as we know it today.

It was also very organize and information was easy to find.

It would have helped if the spelling and grammar was looked over and corrected.

Some of the explanations were a bit confusing and would have helped if they were laid out a bit more clearly.

W@rm: we liked the student evaluation--- the categories were very fair. Also, the powerpoint was well done, a good idea, and very imformative

co0l: For improvement, we would suggest more images because it makes it more visually appealing. second- we thought the process page could have been more organized.

excellent job!

we enjoyed your website very much because it was very organized and detailed. super duper informative and easy to naviagte.
the only thing that might be able to be improved is that the background could be a bit distracting but that doesn't matter because the website was good. :')

Warm:I clicked on it and i wanted to see more since it was so colorful and comic-like! The pictures you used are very accurate with regards to the description and the print is easy to read since it's so large. Very informative!


Cool: I don't know if it's just me, but the site lags a lot, and no matter how good a site is, I'm not staying on it if it lags like crazy...though other than technical problems, I would recommend leaving breaks between the information; it looks like a large mass of words, which I found to be very intimadating!

Warm: I thought it was very refreshing to have funny clips while you guys explained the atomic model; it's good to take breaks when you learn!

Cool: I think close up one the pictures you choose to present would make people more focused on what the experiment is as you talk about it. So the picture will register into their brain and that will be associated with your words :).

Warm: I liked your home page, because it gave a very good introduction about what the website was going to be about
I also liked how detailed and accurate the information was.
Cool: I would suggest using a bit more pics, because all those words look intimidating

Great project overall. Thoroughly discussed all of the experiments and events that made todays model. Explained topics that most projects did not.
Cool:
Could have used a little more action/expression. Music drowns out voice in some parts.

We liked the fact it was a conversation.
We also liked the pictures, they are very interesting.

Cool:
For improvement, we think that the navigation of the site could be
bigger and more noticible.
We also think that the font could be a bit more creative, looking at
black over and over can be a bit tiring.

Warm:
The ideas were very concise and organized in a well-put manner.
The pictures used were chosen well and were insightful according to the articles.

Cool:
You've done well with the history of electron and neutron, so maybe more imformation about the proton may help sum up the atom as a whole.
The home page could have been more insightful, such as introducing the subtopics of the atom. It seemed a little short, and a picture may have also helped with that as well. :)

Warm:
I loved the effort of creating such a video! The animations and the rap must have been time consuming, and the end product was a job well done.
The method of carrying out the information was very informative; the pacing was good, the facts were educational in a way that was straight and to the point.

Cool:
Is it possible to have the default volume higher than what it is? It was a little discourging when I found that I had to crank up my speakers to hear the video, but it's nothing major.
Since you brought up the subject of quantum theory, it may have been better to elaborate a little more on each kind. I think some more info on that would have been more satisfying.
Other than that, great job!

The site itself looked really cool because of the black theme. Also there was a lot of good information.

Cool:Although I liked all the information about the models I think you could have added a little more about the specific particles such as protons neutrons and quarks

I really liked the acting, and the creativity of the plot. I also liked how you addressed (I believe) every single topic, and explained them all as if you were actually scientists. :)

Cool:
I think both of you could have read a little less from a piece of paper, or could have at least hid it. Also, (maybe I missed it) but there were some topics missing such as the big bang?

Warm:
Enthusiastic and classic. Though it was a lecture, the large print and casual language made it engaging. Lot's of info too!

Cool:
There could be a more even distribution of roles in the project, but I'm sure behind the scenes everyone did their part. Also, having clear titles to each subject presented creates a more organized video.

Otherwise...it looks like ben and I have competition.

Warm: I liked how they used the comedy of rapping and word play [Atom Lambert] to keep you interested while also being really informative.

C00L: The volume was really low, so i had to strain myself to hear.

Van Pham and Michelle Yee

Warm: Their intro video was really cute, and everything on their webquest was really easy to follow. it was nice that they included both a video and a slide show in it, that explained the atom theories really well.

C00l: ... I'm not sure. They were pretty thorough.

Warm feedback: It was colorful and engaging. It was both interesting and educational.
Cool feedback: It didn't really go in depth about the history of the experiments that contributed to the atomic model. But other than that, it was really good.

warm: Love the curious George reference (it was clever). The history was very detailed and the pictures were very nice images.

cool: It is great, however, you could improve by breaking up the paragraphs of text and clarifying the model page. Also, an animation would have been nice.

We like that you introduced your topic really well.
We like that you explained your atomic model very well.

For improvement we suggest that you revise more for grammar and spelling.
For improvement we suggest that you chose the most important events and experiments for the timelines.

It was laid out in an organized way.
Atomic Theory was explained really well.

It would have helped if you explained which model was on the home page.
Only electrons and nucleus were explained. It would have helped if protons and shells were explained too.

Warm: I think the webquest was well-organized and the links were helpful for the users of the webquest. We liked how the authors guided us through each process.

Cool: We feel the links were helpful but you guys should help the user locate relevant information for completeing each question. Usage of more images and explanations to go along with those images in the powerpoint would be helpful as well.

warm: there was enough information that i would know what you were talking about even if i had no idea of what an atom was. The fact it wasn't weighed down with so much detail made it easy to understand.
cool: A little more information of the evolution from one model to the next would help clarify things even further.
