Survey Says...

Survey results are in.

Here was the breakdown:

Question 1: How would you rank the resources you received through the RRS?
Not helpful at all: 17.65%
Only Slightly Helpful: 5.88%
Somewhat Helpful: 35.29%
Helpful, but could be better: 23.53%
Very Helpful: 17.65%
As expected, we need to work on our resources. Partly, I think this was because of the lack of vocational sources. Partly, though, I think it's because kids don't realize that just because we're finding sources for them doesn't mean that they are exempt from reading. There was a disconnect with some students; reading is a HUGE struggle for some kids, and handing them a book on ancient Rome in general when their topic was on ancient Roman technology meant that they were actually going to have to read to find information.

Question 2: How would you rate the thesis help you received through the RRS?
Not helpful at all: 5.88%
Only slightly helpful: 5.88%
Somewhat helpful: 35.29%
Orange: Helpful, but could be better: 35.39%
Very Helpful: 17.65%
Better results on this one, probably because there was a lot of one-on-one thesis help going on here. Still not perfect.

Question 3: Suggestion box! How can we make the RRS better?
Mixed response here. Some kids wanted more print resources, some more web resources. One wanted me to find a way to outlaw essays altogether. If the survey weren't anonymous, I would tell him/her sorry, no can do.

Question 4: Would you use the RRS again in the future, and/or recommend it to someone else?
Near universal on this one. Not sure what we did to wrong the one who said no, but not everyone left comments, either, so....who knows?
