Lecture evaluations

This page presents the results of the lecture evaluations. Please use menu on the left to see these results sorted by various categories.

The scoring system:

As shown below, each lecture was evaluated by usefulness, interest and timing. To quantify these evaluations, the scale was assigned as follows:
the average was taken for 0 (zero); the extremes for + or - 2, and the intermediate for + or - 1. The number of votes for each score was multiplied by the corresponding score, and the results were added.

score	- -	-	0	+	+ +
interest	boring		average		very interesting
usefulness	not useful at all		average		very useful
timing	too long		just right		too short

for example, in assessing lecture 1 (see individual lectures below), one person judged the lecture not useful at all; six as average; 10 as more useful that average and 6 as very useful. A total score is 20, as shown below.

score	- -	-	0	+	+ +	total
number of votes	1	0	6	10	6	23
scores	-2	0	0	+10	+12	+20

23 evaluation forms were recovered; not all forms have all evaluations for all lectures. Hence, the total number of votes may be less than 23 for some lectures.

To get an overall score, scores for interest and usefulness were added, and the score for timing was always subtracted (whether it was positive or negative, i.e. too short or too long).
