Re Greg's recent Blog post, is it worth considering a question at least about which topic was best received?
As a self-evaluation, I take a minute or two after every workshop to review and note where I thought I did the best presentation and why, and where I was weakest and why. Sometimes it's an off day, sometimes it's a topic/attendee disconnect, sometimes it's my preparation (or lack thereof). Not sure whether that would be appropriate for something like this. I also like to note whether there seemed to be anything -- topic, new metaphor, student question, whatever -- that got people more interested than others. -- bennet On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 10:04 AM, John Blischak <jdblisc...@uchicago.edu> wrote: > Thanks for getting this started, Dan.
