Scientist-Educator Collaborative Workshop Workshop Evaluation: Feedback to Scientists

Held at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye New Hampshire Monday, June 1, 2009 through Wednesday, June 3, 2009

Scientists' concept map presentations were evaluated by educators and other scientists participating in the workshop. Participants were asked to rate each presentation according to four criteria:

• The Big Picture -- how well was the scientist's specific research question expanded to address broader issues and concerns and how clearly was that stated?
• Jargon -- how well did the scientists tailor their language to be accessible to a general audience or explain any jargon used?
• Concept map -- how well did the map itself organize the information being presented and help the audience understand important ideas?
• Take home message -- how memorable was the overall message of the presentation?
