To Michael Krumme, here is the results of last year’s survey of the Symposium as posted in a Gazette of 10/20/08
Scott Hansen, co-chairman of the Symposium did an evaluation again this year. Here’s is his unvarnished report. Even those who didn’t attend may find it of interest.

I have attached the Symposium Evaluation Report. I received 29 responses out of 54 sent – a 54% response rate, just a bit down from last year. The report follows the same format as last year. I have collected all of the individual comments essentially verbatim in the appropriate categories. There is, however, one change. Where there were comparable sessions, I included last year’s score for comparison purposes. After you have read the report, let me know if you would like me to edit it in any way.
