Thanks, Dan! I think focusing on questions about if / how / why an
instructor went off script are really important for keeping those
materials iterating along; one thing to consider would be a more
free-form field at the end to prompt instructors to think about what
else might need work. This would dovetail nicely into the live
instructor hangout conversations we'll be spooling up shortly (also will
be discussing live at the Mozilla Science Lab community call this coming
Thursday).

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.

Thanks for getting this started, Dan. Some other ideas for questions:
+ For each topic they report teaching, have them also report the
amount of time it took and which lessons they were able to teach.
+ It would also be informative to know how many attendees they had.

Hi Mike:
Yep, Greg just told me about an existing survey. I'll take over the data
collection and analysis for it.

Hi Daniel,

Hi everyone:
One of the discussion points in John's issue [1] regarding adding time
estimates and Greg's recent blog post [2] was to include a post-workshop
survey for the instructors -- something that is short, but objective so
we
can track how workshops are going from the instructors point of view. It
might be good to start documenting instructor feedback as swc's
instructor
pool increases, and can be used to supplement the proposed bi-monthly
instructor meetings.
I've done a very bad and rough mock up of what it might entail [3]. And
posting on this group for 1) general feedback on the idea of a post
bootcamp survey, and 2) any other relevant questions.
There's also this form which instructors complete post-workshop,
http://software-carpentry.org/bootcamps/assess/post-instructor.html
It may be worth combining that with yours.
cheers,
mike
I am more than happy to add people as collaborators, just send me an
e-mail
of the email you want me to add you as.
