Evaluation

From 2006.igem.org

Jump to: navigation, search

The idea of this questionnaire is to gather information and opinions about iGEM 2006 in order to make iGEM 2007 more successful.

Open issues:

  • Is it a good idea to do an evaluation?
  • We need to have a small number of good questions...
  • We need a way to evaluate the questions. Our idea is to give 1 to 5 points (1 for 'worst' and 5 for 'best')
  • We need to decide who the evaluation is meant for (instructors or students or both? Have a different form for instructors and students?
  • How do we deliver the questions? (Online form? Printed versions?)
  • Do we do the evaluation before or after the jamboree?
