Workshop Feedback & Testimonials
After every workshop, I ask the participants two questions:
- How likely are you to recommend this workshop to your colleagues?
- Why would (or wouldn’t) you recommend it?
Participants’ unedited feedback
“Because it opens our minds to a new field which is totally neglected in research. The workshop was excellent as an introduction into this field.”
|
“Many ideas that were said during the seminar were very logical and straightforward but until then I haven’t considered them so important. I believe many people think as I did before and that is why I would highly recommend the seminar to others.”
|
“The workshop was very interactive, which profited all the participants enormously! We had the opportunity to present our research in presentation slides/posters and discuss how to make them better.”
|
“Useful, insightful, entertaining, memorable!”
|
“There were many examples which made it really easy to follow and to understand the topic.”
|
“Many of the things discussed were fairly elementary, and many of them I knew already beforehand. However, there is a significant difference between “knowing” something in the back of your mind and actively recognizing and implementing them during research graphic preparation. Therefore I found it useful to have basic concepts of a good figure spelled out and some of the web based tools presented I will definitely use in the future.”
|
“Because it’s covering important guidelines and techniques to present information. Regular scholar training is missing this kind of lecture, even though 1h30 was already enough to make a significant difference in our understanding of visual communication, which is crucial and not only for doctorands. The talk was very well organized and presented, cristal clear and with a good rhythm so as to not to fall asleep after lunch. I liked the fact that the speaker tried to get the audience involved by making it a discussion.”
