Appendix A

Appendix A contains a total listing of student interview questions within categories (the letters A to K show main areas and the letter F with a number show the original order of questions within the final interview format; HC stands for HyperCard, RT for regular text, and B for both). These categories were chosen to organize the data, but were not taken to be mutually exclusive.
