#64 September 12: Brochure edits, course survey – 30 minutes

We are getting closer and closer to being finished with the Life After the Games brochure that Liston wants to present to a potential spokesperson. Josh sent a couple more edits yesterday morning, minor things like reducing the font size in a couple of places and adjusting the placement of the ICC logo within the ring. It did not take long to make those edits and send back to Josh. I have also been asked to go into Google Forms to develop a survey for the end of the Life After the Games course. Some of the information was pre-filled, so it did not take long at all to alter the questions where they would fit our needs. There are standard questions about what people like and dislike about the course.

Other questions deal with the ease of registering for the course and going through the material. A majority of the questions are on the Likert scale, where you choose the degree to which you agree with a certain statement. The last section requests brief feedback on the experience. From a student’s point of view, I am not that great about completing surveys unless I feel really strongly about the experience, and I emphasize the “really” part here. Looking at the other side of the coin, I understand where the instructor wants to know if people like the course and what about it needs to change, if anything. Reviews are ultimately how the word gets out about a product and if the word is good, then more people will use it.
