This project would not have been possible without the assistance of many people beyond the Workshop Tutorial Project Group.

Darren Goossens drew the cartoons throughout the tutorial sheets.

Bill Rachinger proof read everything, and provided much valuable feedback, and many helpful suggestions. Bob Hewitt, Brian McInnes, Trevor Danos and Ian Sefton helped with proof reading and provided useful suggestions. Questions and solutions were contributed by Ian Cooper, Pal Fekete and Malathi Nagarajan. Karl Kruzelnicki suggested some interesting questions, and was the source of the falling-cats physics. David Low provided ideas for questions and activities, and Peter Eyland provided the Lenard-Jones potential diagrams.

Bob Lucas helped with image production for the activities manual. Eve Teran, Christy Manguerra, Elizabeth Hing and Hannah Jurd provided valuable administrative assistance and many ideas for questions.

Paul Ferguson and David Young were invaluable help with the activities, and provided much support and many ideas.

Tai Peseta helped with the evaluation of the project, including running focus groups. Christine Asmar assisted with preparation of the initial grant proposal.

We would like to thank staff, particularly the tutors, at all the institutions who helped in many different ways including providing valuable ongoing feedback during the project.
