1. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?

I enjoyed the virtual experience a lot. It was very fun and good, however I think I could have enjoyed it more. There was an abundance of lectures which I felt became repetitive and so I think that the time would be better spent on practical workshops in preparation for the work project. The theoretical knowledge I gained about problem solving and presentation was less than effective as I felt I learned more in the attempt to create the presentation itself.

The theoretical knowledge I gained about problem solving and presentation was less than effective as I felt I learned more in the attempt to create the presentation itself. Furthermore, given the abundance of participants, I felt as though we were all somewhat indistinct and unnoticeable to the speakers.
