2.  I thought the way we collected their notes at the end was very helpful because we will be able to look at everything they were thinking and their initial reaction to the boards as a whole and also to the color schemes, desks, kiosks, circulation, and perspective.  although I thought the materials questionnaire worked well,  I think that they weren't thinking of other options of materials while they were filling it out, but rather just limiting themselves to the materials that were presented on the sheets.
