iSCB Evaluation
On the last day of the School, students are asked to anonymously evaluate iSCB through a questionnaire that includes a set of questions on organization, lecturers, course content, labs, field course and overall satisfaction with the School.
To date, four iSCBs have been organized (2005-2008), with 73 participating students from 15 European countries. On the scale from 1 (poor) – 10 (excellent), they graded the School with a high average grade of 9.3. On the question “Would you recommend iSCB to your colleagues and fellow graduate students”, they have all answered – yes.
