Jose Velazquez: The most challenging thing for our students is the research. Our students, because they represent young people and are articulate, can [identify] what they think are the issues and concerns. I think they have done a pretty good job with that. Being able to research and confirm their assumptions and predictions in ways that are a little bit more scientific has been a challenge partly because of the time limitations.
