What are the advantages of questionnaires for evaluating an event?

Questionnaires collect views from many participants quickly and give data that can be counted. Closed questions allow easy comparison.

What is a witness statement in event evaluation?

A witness statement is a written account by someone who observed a team member's work, such as a teacher. The statement provides independent evidence.

How can audio or video recordings help evaluation?

Recordings show what actually happened, such as how a warm-up was delivered. The team can review them in detail afterwards.

Why should feedback be collected soon after the event?

Participants remember details best straight after the event. Response rates also drop as time passes.
