The group gave an overall feedback rating of 4.81 out of 5 (5 being Excellent) and all agreed that they:
- Would recommend this session to a colleague
- Feel more confident in using the tools & techniques learned
We asked what they’d tell a colleague who asks about this session:
- “It was very easy to learn the techniques, the mix of activities and videos was great, the facilitator explained the techniques really well and responded quickly to questions and comments.”
- “It has great applicability for other projects (not research related).”
- “Wonderful session, full of useful techniques and tips to schedule work tasks.”
- “Most useful workshop I attended thus far in my PhD.”
- “It has given me the confidence to plan my research, I realise I did my Gantt chart wrong.”
- “This is going to help me plan my project better and with more realistic and detailed tasks, expectations and plans.”
- “I’d recommend them in the first place, and secondly share the resources and tools introduced.”
Other comments included:
- “I recommend it is done early in the research and new PhD students should be advised to do it. It should actually be one of the compulsory training courses.”
- “The illustrations were so interactive.”
- “I’m excited to fully apply these techniques to my PhD.”
- “Great training!”
- “Honestly the most useful workshop I had in my PhD.”
