Annoyed

Argh. I just finished teaching a class and was surprised by results of the evaluations. Usually I get glowing marks across the board, but this time the marks were pretty low (at least for me).

The reason? Everybody thought it was a hands-on computer class. People tend to see the words "graphics" and "web" and sign up without reading any further. That's frustrating, since I went out of my way to (a) indicate in the advertisement that it was a PRESENTATION and also to (b) schedule it in a room that faculty and staff all know DOES NOT HAVE COMPUTERS. If you sign-up for a presentation in the large auditorium-style meeting room that doesn't have computers, why would you think it was a hands-on class?

The purpose of this presentation was to give folk some basic hints and tips about what's the difference between a GIF and a JPG, what a good image looks like versus a bad one, some basic instructions on how to resize, add text and save and image as optimized for the web. I added some info about scanners, GIF animations and other useful graphic design software. All-in-all it was a quick and dity, "take notes" kinda lecture with some demos of software.

*sigh*

Unfortunately, due to a mix-up in room reservations we did end up in a room with computers instead of a simple lecture-style meeting room. That certainly didn't help if people came in with expectations that it would be hands-on.

Oh well. I'm not offering this one again. Last time only three people out of a full class bothered to show up. This time only half of the twenty-six people signed up for it came, and even then they had expectations that were not advertised. I'll just take the important bits of info and put them in my Photoshop class.
