The feedback cards asked participants to rank various aspects of SkeptiCamp Winnipeg from 1–5. Of the roughly thirty participants, we received eight completed cards. I've summarised the results below, including numeric mean and median scores and a verbal interpretation of the median (my preferred form of average, as it is resistant to outliers, and also the second most likely—behind mode—to be an integer).
Please bear in mind that our sample is self-selected.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed it! Looking forward to seeing the videos when they're posted. Do the Winnipeg Skeptics have a YouTube channel?
ReplyDeleteNot as of yet, no. Scott, our resident media wizard, posted the promo on his YouTube channel. I'd imagine we'll get a channel set up for this, and I'll be sure to post the videos here as Scott finishes editing them.
