Dear all I'm trying to gather some information on attendance patterns on short courses, and would be very grateful if you could email me any feedback to help with the planning of our autumn programme. We are looking to run a course combining literature and social history from different periods (so would involve course participants doing some reading in their own time) and would cover 3 or 4 sessions. What I'm trying to find out is the best time to programme this kind of course to maximise attendance: are Saturdays better than weekdays, or is a week night better than a weekend day? In the past, we've done something similar on a weekday (10am-3pm) for 3 consecutive weeks, but obviously this excludes people working full-time, and evenings may be easier for people working in the area. Any information from past experience would be great, if you could email me direct.
