Overall Program Structure.
Evaluation Question: "Comment on the overall structure of the program, specifically in terms of providing you structured guidance and flexibility to accommodate
your specific interests and needs."
Participant #1.
The program had a very flexible structure, always tailored to our
wants and needs, which worked great for getting our research done.
We had a lot of freedom which was nice, seminars answered our questions
and then we could go out and do what we needed to do in terms of our
field work focus.
Participant #2.
I loved the freedom we got. It made it easier (at least for me) to
stay focused. It allowed me to work at my own pace, which I greatly
appreciated. I think this was good because we all worked at our own
speed and weren't slowed down or forced along while trying to wait
or speed up to stay with the group. Even though I was working more
independently, I always felt like I had the professor there to answer
any questions that might arise. Email proved to be a very useful tool.
Participant #3.
I thought the overall structure of the program was extremely accommodating
to a variety of learning and working styles. It fit my more informal,
improvisational, and experimental learning and working style perfectly.
I think we all had very different needs and styles of working, and
there was space for everyone, we helped each other and collaborated
and gave helpful suggestions despite those differences. That was proof
to me that the structure was well-suited for the program, at least
with our group of participants.
Participant #4.
There was enough flexibility in the program to accommodate specific
interests and to allow students to chose the type of focus and style
of their project.
Participant #5.
It should be clearer to applicants how much spending money they should
be prepared to use. The suggested amount was not enough at all for
the amount of time we spent in Yucatan, what with weekend food and
lodging, and transportation. Thanks for a great summer!!
Participant #6.
Overall I think there needs to be more time to relax, costs should
be clearly stated, and creativity should be allowed when it comes
to writing the paper. Other than that the facilities were great, the
accommodations were wonderful, and the seminars were very educational
and applicable to our fieldwork above all. Thank you Quetzil for making
this one of the best summers ever.
