Bryan Series subscribers offered constructive comments about their experience at the Paul Krugman program Nov. 3 in a post-event e-mail survey.
About 42% of subscribers responded to the survey. 69% of respondents were very satisfied with the speaker's presentation and 71% were very satisfied with the event overall.
About 290 comments were offered, falling into three major categories:
- 9% of respondents offered suggestions for improving the Q&A, including submitting questions after the talk.
- 4% said they had difficulty hearing the program.
- 4% said they thought the speaker offered no new information, could have used visuals and could have given a longer talk. (Others thought Krugman was right on target).
Some thoughts: We continue to consider how to give more of an opportunity for attendees to submit questions after hearing what the speaker has to say. Currently, our format does not include an intermission between the talk and Q&A. When we have had an interlude, some people choose to leave. We are wondering if attendees would be interested in texting questions during the talk. Think about it, and let us know. We will be reviewing the sound system setup again before February's program and addressing other issues that are common to all three post-event surveys thus far.
Thanks again for your post-event survey responses!
