Web Services Wrap-up and Survey Results Ryan Armstrong Alex Brown Andrea Miller

Small Response Numbers There were some good comments left that are useful However, only 5 students responded to the survey  Any results are limited in scope and usefulness

Improvements from last time Improved PowerPoint slides More structured Readings were improved General appearance

Improvements continued… Responders were honest, one person simply stated that they couldn’t remember our last presentation One respondent left a very helpful “good” comment

Case Study Comparison Both of our presentations had a case study  Most people felt that the Expedia.com case study was better then the Geneva study  Unfortunately for those respondents, it was the Geneva case study that was the basis for the highest point question on the midterm  Likely that the length of the two was the biggest factor in people’s decisions

Familiarity with Web Services According to respondents, most people were at least somewhat familiar with Web Services to begin with This made teaching about the topic much easier then ERP Systems People also responded walking away with a much better understanding of Web Services after the presentation
