This paper discusses the initial stage ofa research project where data is collected to better understand students’ perception on feedback.The results are considered in the preparation of training tools that will aid in the feedback processand will be conducted at a later stage.Data Collection and RationaleData collection was conducted using an internet-based survey

mandatory, many authors choose to identifysome philosophy with their methodology or strategy for teaching a particular course. To a largeextent, the philosophy for teaching any particular course is largely influenced by several factors,such as the discipline, course content, the extent to which the students have been prepared forthe course, the expectation of the instructor and the skills that must be developed. For example,at certain stages in a science program, students are expected to know and apply certaintheorems. Considering the students, prior preparation, the instructor may adopt a teachingmethod which will ensure that both requirements are satisfied at the end of the technology-related course.In adopting a teaching methodology, the

This is effectively the inverseapproach of deductive learning, where general principles are used to deduceconsequences for specific applications. Most teaching is performed in the deductivemode, but most discoveries, or things learned for the first time, are made inductively.This suggests that induction is a more natural learning style and more effective for manystudent learners2.Moor and Piergiovanni12 describe their application of classroom kits for inductiveexperiments in a process control course.

MemoryWe wanted to have as much RAM per node as we could afford, but memory prices spiked in thelast few months of 1999, just when we were designing our system. Many applications need tohave a lot of RAM per node so that they can be parallelized with a fairly course granularity andachieve high parallel efficiency. Higher processor clock speeds also require more RAM, tomaintain high performance. Although we would have preferred 384 MB/node, based on athumbrule1 of 1 MB for every flop/s, we determined that we could afford only 256 MB/nodewithin the constraints of our budget. This choice provided aggregate memory of approximately 8GB
