REVIEW:
What is the intellectualmedt of the proposed activity?
SinceREU programs are substantiallydifferent from other NSF programs
the commentshave all beenplacedin the summary statement.
l^/hat are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?
Summary Statement
Overall, this is a very well done proposal. The enthusiasmand the motivation of those
involved in the projectare evident. The reporting of the resultsof previous REU
projectshasalso beendone very well. It appeajs that a lot ofefforais spent on the
undergtaduatetesearchersin this environment. The experiencewith p;evious REU
grantshas beenwell-analyzedused to enhancethis proposal,a laudableaspect.
The oriy counterpointsthat might be mentioned are these:
&#61623; Are there aiy opportunities for students to see (through, say, field trips) the
kinds ofresearchactivitiesthat might be involved in larger, externallyfunded projects
at other institutions or labotatodes where the primary objective of the scientists
involved is reseatch?This would not only give studentsa tastefor reseaJchactivitiesas
provided at Hope, but al6ogive them insight into real-world research.
&#61623; lt rl'ay have been an oversight but I was unable to find a review of
publications that had undergraduates from the program as co-authors, a point that was
to be addressedaccolding to the progaamannouncement.I assumethat in this
environmentthere havebeencollaborativepublications
with undergaduates. It would
be nice to highlight these.

REVIEW:
What is the intellectualmerit of the proposedactivity?
The proposalsuggestsa number of mainly independentstudy proiects(I am not sure if

suggested
in theproposalcanbe called,,research").
In my opinion,this projectwill
hardlyleadto scientificdiscoveries,

extent)knowledge
and (probably,to greaterextent)understanding
within the field.On
theotherhand,_there
is no doubt (assupportedby the studenteviluations)that study
pr+cts of this kind give studentsa very good chanceto exploreand further practicai
applicationsof the knowledgethat they acquiredin classrooms,aswell asshapetheir
careers.
Suggested
study topics(for example,algorithmand functionvisualizaliontypicalprogranuningexercises
in manycolleges)do not seemtoo original,thoughthey
will requirecertainskillsand creativityfrom students.Theteammemlers(especiallythe Pl) arevery qualifiedto conductthe project,thougb the qualityof prior work in
manycasesdoesnot seemto riseabovethelevelof (sometimes,
comperehensive)
programming expercises.Taking into accountthe level o{ studies,aswell as
qualificationsof the PI, there is no doubt that proposedactivity would be very well
organized.Studentswill have accessto all necessarvresourcei
l^rhat are the broaderimpactsof the proposedactivity?
As the extensivelist of publications (co-authoredby undergraduatestudents)indicates,
thells,are very skillful ir utilizing and advertisingresults of their researcfuespecially
in the field of computer scienceeducation.Collaboratingwith their mentorson
publicationpreparation,studentswill geta valuableeducationaland socialexpedence.
The projectwill certainly advancehaining and teachingskills of the pls. On the other
hand, it will hardly attract studentsfrom other colleges(asevidencedby prror
experience of the team), since there are a number of mote atkactive research-oriented
oppodunities around, In particular, it is not clear how this proiect targets studmts from
underrepresmted groups, though the PIs provide some widence indicating that the
number of students from these categodes participating in the program is steadily
increasing. There is, probabl, no chanceto broaden paiticipation geographically.
SummaryStatement
G (good).The Criterion 1 (relatively low scientificvalue of the ploiect, relatively high
educationalvalue of the proiect,high educationalqualificationsof the PIs) was critical
to my decision.Criterion 2 (studentswill have broad opportunities to disseminatetheir
results,the projectwill help them to maketheir careerchoicegthe projectis not very
likely to athact studentsfrom other colleges)contributed to my decisionto a lesser
extent.
