Summary of end-course evaluation by participants We received course evaluations from the vast majority of participants (29/31). Twenty-seven participants (93%) indicated that the course met their expectations. However, some feedback for improvement was included (selected two or more participants mentioned this) as follows: • The course evaluation must be anonymous as names were asked and this potentially biases the candidness of participants • The course should be better guided by evidence and references to such evidence, such as in a course reader for each section. More on what is not know would also be useful. Pre-distribution of the literature CD-rom would be preferable than handing it out at the end of the course. • The costing and budgeting for TB-IC to support funding efforts, such as via the Global Fund, should be explicitly instructed • The course should have smaller group break out sessions and the first two days did not allow enough interaction. • The course, per many participants, should be more focused. • The environmental control lectures were not focused enough and more time could be dedicated to this subject area. • The clinic visits could have been shortened • Provide more details of the writing of an infection control plan and perhaps have a mock infection control plan writing with budgeting • The blood-borne pathogens should be shortened or completely deleted from the course. • The course days were too long and this was not conducive for learning. The lunch hour could be extended to 2 hours instead of one, for instance. Or the course could end on Friday after lunch. Friday was very packed. Could consider ending the course at 4:30PM per day and possibly extended by another day if the content needs to be made up. Could consider having the field visits for only ½ day. Consider having additional 5 minute breaks. Generally, sessions should not last longer than 1 hour. • On overall outline of the course should be given on the 1st day. • Overall take home messages: o Could engage the trained consultant so that they do not forget via international missions. Did not focus enough on these possibilities on the last day. o Special website for the TB IC consultant would be beneficial o Need to have objectives for each session and not stray off course from the stated objectives o o Make more use of expertise in the room e.g., with small group sessions Change order of lectures to start more with the big picture, assessment then technical details • Other: name tags might be useful, folders for materials, toolkit to take home, evaluations could be done per day instead of at the end, coffee and tea should be provided all day long and perhaps u-shaped seating arrangements are better. 6
