Annual Meeting Experience Evaluation

Quality of experience: 5 = Excellent 3 = Acceptable 1 = Poor

1. Preliminary information –5 (2) 4(2) 3(3) 2(1) 1(0)

Comments:

Perhaps a more concrete explanation of the process for first year students is appropriate. I kept feeling as though I was asking what was going on. Need more details on Natural Resource Committee Meetings;

I was well informed;

I’m not sure why I didn’t get the preparation materials, but I did not. This was very inconvenient

and frustrating. Luckily, my friend sent me the materials. I would recommend safeguarding against this problem;

2. Opening mixer – 5(0) 4(5) 3(2) 2(1) 1(0)

Comments:

Seemed sort of a rough start because people were late due to weather, but I’m glad it was flexible;

More getting to know you, engaging activities would be good;

3. Resolution development process – 5(5) 4(1) 3(0) 2(0) 1(1)

Comments:

Suggestion: perhaps group by interest in topic so everyone works on a resolution they are interested in;

I learned a lot;

Would liked to have been in a group where everyone was interested in the same topic;

Awesome process;

When I filled out the interests page, I thought I would be assigned to a group of people with similar interests and I would work on a prevalent issue. However, I was assigned randomly to a group with interests in things I knew nothing about;

4. Natural Resource Committee meeting –5(7) 4(0) 3(0) 2(0) 1(0)

Comments:

Great to participate;

Very interesting;

We passed our first resolution with a heated battle. Very exciting!

Liked the experience very much but I would much rather have gone to a meeting that was specific to my interests and potential future occupation;

5. Resolutions Committee meeting –5(4) 4(4) 3(0) 2(0) 1(0)

Comments:

It was interesting to hear what everyone said;

Little less prepared but still a fun process;

6. Free time activities –5(0) 4(3) 3(3) 2(2) 1(0)

Comments:

Liked the flexibility of free time; how about an activity where younger students get to know older students better?

It was fairly relaxing and I liked how it wasn’t too rigid;

Don’t really need an activity, but Green Elvis was really cool;

Not enough free break time. Green Elvis was not a hit;

I liked Eco Elvis as well as the flexibility of options;

7. Auction / Mixer – 5(4) 4(1) 3(2) 2(1) 1(0)

Comments:

It would be better if the students who aren’t interested in the auction could leave to relax or work on something else;

Although I was skeptical at first, I liked that CLC members were split up to mingle with CFM Members;

Great experience! I enjoyed talking to the other members and watching the auction;

Awesome

8. Resolutions – General Session – 5(2) 4(2) 3(0) 2(0) 1(0)

Comments:

Awesome

9. Overall assessment of the experience – 5(5) 4(3) 3(0) 2(0) 1(0)

Comments:

I learned a lot;

It was a great learning experience;

I think making the resolution groups in CLC revolve around specific issues that people can choose beforehand will get everyone in the groups more involved becaude all of them will care about it;
