1 March 2010

Today, I finished my Criterion K, shown below:
K Assessing the Social Significant of the Product

Observed Social Impact:
After the site was officially online, the link was placed on the math team section of edline.net, and recommended to math team students.
As a result of this, many students have begun to use this site as a guide.
For example, two of my testers, Jane Krot and Jasmin Shin, mentioned in their responses to the questionnaire that they would probably use the site in their studying; they, along with others, have done this. They mentioned that the formulas and examples were helpful to their understanding, and explained that they found the practice tests more accessible than before.

Predicted Social Impact:
I can only hope that this site will continue to be in use for the years to come. In the future, this site could be used as a study guide with much more widespread reach. The entire Mid-Pac math team would know about it. And, because the internet is assessable to everyone, students from other math teams, and even students looking for a challenging problem, would find this site useful. Overall, it will continue to spread mathematical knowledge, promote understanding, and make studying a little easier.
