Justification for the above scores

Some of the group members put up questions which were just basic calculations, which isn't really relevant to what we'd learnt up to that point. However, some had attempted to try and clarify things which were hard concepts to grasp. The session was useful in some areas and useless in other areas, each member of the group did different things, so its hard to collaborate them as 1 group. We felt that they understood what they were talking about, except for the odd group member who failed to explain the reasons behind the answers. All in all, it was just a basic review of what we should've already learnt.

One aspect of the session that was particularly good

Some the of members of the group went over their question and explained things they thought we wouldn't understand, which was good. The group members obviously communicated with one another as none of their questions overlapped in course information.

One part of the session that could have been improved

A lot of the members failed to explain the reasons for their answers clearly. The first guy had two possible answers! The 2nd guy had a badly organised question. He made it easier by extracting the 1 line of code that was changing each time - why didn't he do that in the first place?! But, he did give an indepth explanation. The last guy gave a good explanation of "this" but he failed to provide a good example as his still worked without the "this" line of code!
