11. (Only for students who did NOT take 303K-MI) Based on my experience with or knowledge of the standard physics curriculum, my impression is that the 303L M&I course compares favorably to the standard physics course.

12. I have learned a substantive amount of physics in this course.

13. I would recommend the MI-curriculum for this course to future potential 303L students.
