It was extremely helpful.”. The only real issue with using Maple was that it wasonly available on-campus, so many students who work from home did not have access to it.Student computer labs are open 24/7, so this would not be seen as a limiting factor in the future.In the next implementation of the worksheets, timing will be critical to assess. Comments, suchas the following, reiterate this importance. “I feel that these tutorials were very helpful in refreshing the concepts that we have previously learned.
