OSC 2007 Evaluation Report

2007 OSC Readiness Training Program Evaluation Report
Comments on course content
• Nice videos.
• Nice overview and mix of groundwater and case studies. (Two responses)
• The first presentation had too much information. It should be reduced to a summary version.
• Might want to simplify for future classes.
• Need more real life and practical examples throughout the presentation.
• There was too much technical information at one time, so it was difficult to absorb.
• Introductory material necessary, but very dry.
• Use new case studies each year. (Four responses)
• I would like to know practical solutions, given the limited technology I have in working for the
state.
• Pace was a little fast for an introduction to hydrology.
Comments on instructional methods and materials
• Case studies were a very effective teaching mechanism and very helpful. (Four responses)
• Good balance of science, seriousness, and humor.
• Module One should be shortened and more pictures added. (Two responses)
• Some slides had too many words.
Comments on course name and abstract expectations
• I would recommend it only if you get new case studies every year.
Comments on recommending course to colleagues
• Good idea and reference material for future work.
