INTERACTION WITH TEAM

* Was the frequency of meetings with the Stat Practice team about
  right?  YES NO

  Yes - we held weekly meetings and a couple of times Gary and Abby
  came to my lab to observe experiments and discuss background.  They
  clearly went above and beyond the call of duty.
 
* Did the team make a genuine effort to understand your problem from
  your point of view, and translate it into statistical tasks? YES NO

  Yes - I was very impressed by their ability to jump between
  disciplines given their background.

* Was the team able to translate the results of their statistical work
  into terms that are/were helpful to you? YES NO

  Absolutely - they always made the effort to relate their findings to
  biological events / data.

OVERALL 

* Would you comment on strengths or weaknesses you perceived in any
  member of the team you worked with?

  This was a very positive experience for me.  I think we made rapid
  progress on a challenging analysis problem and I am satisfied with
  the outcome.  It would be wonderful to have their continued
  involvement in the project.

* Would you comment on any aspect of the design of the Statistical
  Practice course that you would like to see changed?

  It seems to work well as it is.  Perhaps it could be expanded into a
  second (summer?) semester as an option?  Collaborators such as
  myself make an investment of time in bring students up to speed.  It
  would be great if we could increase our rate of return by extending
  the project if all participants are willing.
