I had the great fortune yesterday of seeing one of my ideas improved upon. Alexis McKenzie, English and Drama Liaison Librarian at the University of Saskatchewan, adapted the assessment tool that I have been using this year for her own classes. Here is what I love about what she did:
- She added lines. Seems like a little thing, but I think participants are more likely to comment when you set up the space for them to write.
- She added an email address template, so that the participant only needed to fill in their NSID. It is almost like a reminder at the end of the form that if the student wants a response to their question from the librarian, they need to enter their contact information. The email address provides a visible reminder.
- She exchanges the comment cards for chocolates - excellent incentive!
- She uses much less paper and the overall comment card is much smaller.
- Perhaps having the effect of being less daunting for students.
- Sets up the expectation that they only have to briefly comment!
