Careercon Warszawa 2015 - surveys

Home

I'd like to share with you the results of 2 surveys regarding my last presentation. The first one was prepared by organizers of the conference. The second one was created by me on SurveyMonkey portal. I placed a link to it on each slide in the lower  left corner. It was visible through the whole presentation so anyone with a smartphone could have filled it. The survey was short and consisted of 3 obligatory and 2 voluntary questions.

Let's start with the official survey of the conference. According to it there were ~50 people on my presentation. ~30 said that it was very good, ~18 that it was good and ~2 that it was week. In average it gives 4,56. These are very good results for me, thanks!



My survey looked in the following way:

• Question 1 - What is your overall assessment of my presentation on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 - the highest evaluation)?
• Question 2 - How do you assess the substantive content of my presentation on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 - the highest evaluation)?
• Question 3 - How would you rate my way of presenting on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 - the highest evaluation)?
• Question 4 - Name one thing that you remember from my presentation.
• Question 5 - This is the place for all sorts of comments, applications and complaints. Each comment will be valuable for me.

I received 8 answers for these questions. Much less than for the previous survey but all the answers were extremely valuable to me. Thanks! Here are details:

	1	2	3	4	5	Average
Question 1			1	4	3	4,25
Question 2				4	4	4,50
Question 3				3	5	4,63

I also received a couple of comments that will allow me to be a better speaker in the future:

• The demo should have been a little bit longer.
• The sample code used during a demo could be more complex.
• I should have used a microphone.
• I should have spoken slower.
• Not all terms used by me were understandable for a layman.

It was nice to read that my presentation was useful and that I showed interesting tools.

As a summary I have to say that these results are a boost of energy for me and an encouragement to be a speaker more often.
