Mechanics 101 Class EvaluationAfter using that evaluation form for a few sessions, we figured out that we needed a more general survey that we could use for any event, and not have to keep track of 14 different surveys for 14 different programs, specific workshops, etc.
Thanks so much for joining us for this class. As you can probably tell, we love bicycles. We want to share that love with as many people as possible. This class is but one way for us to make folks know how easy bike maintenance is once you understand it. In an effort to continually improve and evolve the class, please take a minute or two to give us some feedback on your experience in the class. Thanks again for your time, and allowing us to share what we know.

Hi all,The Bike Depot is trying to come up with an evaluation tool for our Earn A Bike (and eventually Fix Your Bike, classes, and volunteers) program and I was just wondering if anyone else out there has a format and system that works. I looked around on the Wiki but couldn't find much. We are working on a simple pre and post program survey to start with, but with our EAB population are wondering how best to reach them after they have left our program and their probability of them actually following up with us.Also, for any group that is successfully using surveys, what questions are you using? We are looking mostly at health impact and quality of life improvement (able to get a job because of bike, etc.). Are there other evaluation systems you are using that work well? What do you then do with that information? Has it spurred you to change aspects of your program to have a greater effect?As we develop our evaluation system I will be sure to share and post what we have created on the wiki site.
