 Formal Evaluations from the 2001 participants of the International Business Institute for Community College Faculty and Selected Testimonials

Selected Testimonials:

...This Institute was a truly unbelievable experience for me...Attending this Institute has given me many options and fresh ideas which will be shared with faculty members in my department... The networking was excellent! Sharing information and discussing the different international business programs with the participants was truly enlightening. I have already utilized at least one (simple) idea to better serve our students...Events like this Institute help us broaden our horizons...

  How this report was compiled:
  A total of 40 faculty participated in the 2001 International Business Institute for Community College Faculty. Participants were asked to rate the quality of the programs components, speakers, accommodations, facilities on a five point scale ranging from excellent to poor. Thirty-four evaluations were collected and found complete enough to be included in this report. Where a participant circled two or more answers for a giving question, the more conservative answer was used. Where a participant neglected to answer a particular question, he or she was removed from the sample. Throughout this report, the number of participants answering a particular question is recorded as the value of N.
