| Can we make the evaluations more informative and less work?- Improve / update our student and instructor eval forms, which are looking a bit tired compared to other chapters and clubs. (I believe something in this area is in progress.)
- Provide a mechanism to enter evals for both students and instructors on-line, both at the event and at home. This would increase compliance with filling out the forms, plus make distributing the forms easier. Students could just go on-line to look up their evals, perhaps. (I believe a pilot program for this is underway).
- Consider having instructor and student go over eval face-to-face. The interaction might be more effective (chance for discussion). GVC does this, I think.

| | Face 2 face evals would be huge. I've received thoughtful evals and I've received ridiculous evals that could have been for another student. I remember getting an excellent on heel-toe when I'd never even tried. Other sections have been more upsetting. When I've had f2f evals, It's always been a pleasant informative experience. |

| | comments: On 1: Absolutely true. Im sure you know Dan, as we instruct with other chapters, that that is very true. A new design should be implemented for this year 0n 2: On line, On line, On line...yes yes yes. Did i say yes? It is a great way of doing it also, although one may say that by the time the instructor gets home they may have forgotten some pointers. I instruct for another chapter that does on-line eval. My task is to actually write up my eval; at the track; at the end of the day; while sipping a beer...when i get home all i have to do is transfer the data. On 3: darn it. i cant remember #3 and now i dont know how to go back to the page to look at it. oh well...

| | Not to toot my own horn (OK, I am) but I presented a proposal several years ago to adopt an electronic eval process that could be run on Palms or PocketPCs. It currently lives on my track database, TrackTrax. This could interface on the back end with Access or Excel. We could create a new evaluation form and people could either do it on paper or on their phone/PDA. Absent this idea, I think that a "fillable" PDF form might work. These could be emailed to the chapter and the answers extracted for an electronic record.
Even if we don't go electronic the paper forms need heavy revision. I tried this last year but never got any feedback and the effort appeared to dead end somewhere. |

| | 1.) Most that I can remember right now and the one's which stick in my memory usually have a scale 1-5 or 1-10 and then a comment box next to each line item. 2.) I am not sure an electronic type form at the event will bolster more/increase on eval's returned as then you have to have a number of "terminals" and also it could be a source of maintenance for the hardware. CVC uses a post card size and their return rate seems good. Also a more friendlier form that could be scanned later works very well. Too have to wait till later to fill it out say "online" at home people are going to forget and the details lost even with the best intensions. I like KISS 3.) F2F has always been very good and time premitting parse the way to go. I think in a multiday event there is more likley some where to find "time" on say the day(s) before the last (when people often neeed to get home etc.) to go over evals Maybe like GVC did the Newbie night last fall at WGI there could also be a second night soemthing where the student could bring the day's eval(copy..etc) to a forum disccusion to go over what the insturctor ment, clarification etc... bill |
