Overall Comments:

"Students in my class (African-Americans and Hispanics in Contemporary American Society) are responding favorably to CHIP and its application to the exercises on race and ethnicity."

"The students learned to use CHIP very quickly."

"I think the approach to education (teaching and learning) is so admirable and congenial that I know that after the workshop, the communication with them [SSDAN staff] and assistance from them will keep the fires burning regarding the dissemination of quantitative reasoning learning. I am strongly motivated to get my colleagues interested in SSDAN and Chip."

"I appreciated the great sense of community that developed among participants."

"The workshop sensitized me to the importance of census data and its usefulness in classes."

"The kindness and patience of the SSDAN staff made the workshop very enjoyable. I also appreciated the opportunity to get feedback from the other participants."

"This was the best workshop with the most practical outcomes that I've attended."
