Hi all
We tried out Cephalonian inductions for the first time this year. The
presentation was aimed at undergrads, but quite a few of us tried it with
postgrads too. In a follow-up survey, we had the following responses to the
question ' How useful did you find your introduction to the library and
computing service?'. Percentages exclude responses 'Didn't Go' or 'Wasn't
offered one' (the latter is almost inevitably a fib!). Note that the number
of postgrad respondents is quite small - 16 who had Cephalonian inductions,
10 who had non-Cephalonian.
Excellent: Postgrads 4 (25%), Undergrads 29 (21%)
Good: Postgrads 11 (69%), Undergrads 85 (62%)
Indifferent: Postgrads 1 (6%), Undergrads 16 (12%)
Bad: Postgrads 0, Undergrads 7 (5%)
By comparison, colleagues who didn't use the Cephalonian method got:
Excellent: Postgrads 4 (40%), Undergrads 7 (9%)
Good: Postgrads 6 (60%), Undergrads 49 (63%)
Indifferent: Postgrads 0 (0%), Undergrads 15 (19%)
Bad: Postgrads 0, Undergrads 6 (8%)
Bearing in mind the small sample size, Postgrads appear more forgiving than
undergrads (no shocks there), and slightly happier with non-Cephalonian
methods. Undergrads were definitely more impressed with the Cephalonian
method
Hope this helps
Sarah
