The 2010 Summer School hosted by La Trobe University was a tremendous success with students enjoying an excellent lecture program. Plans are underway for the 2011 Summer School to be held at the University of Adelaide.
The 8th Annual AMSI Summer School was held at La Trobe University from 11 January to 5 February 2010. Several honours level courses were offered in areas of mathematics, statistics and their applications. The summer school was attended by 93 students, from 18 tertiary institutions from around Australia. Most of the participants were either honours, PhD or research masters students.

            The subjects offered were:
In the student questionnaires administered at the end of the summer school, the students gave an extremely positive evaluation of the summer school; in particular, they gave very high ratings to their learning in the summer school, the standard of the summer school, the useful contacts they made in the summer school, the organisation of the summer school, and their enjoyment at the summer school. The student questionnaires for the individual subjects showed the students were very satisfied with all of the subjects; every subject received an overall satisfaction score greater than 4 out of 5. The written comments on the questionnaires were also extremely positive, with numerous comments about the lecturer’s enthusiasm, and the well organised nature of the subjects. Several students referred to the “awesome experience” or that the lecturers were “awesome”. The 2011 Summer School will be hosted by University of Adelaide. |
