The icing on the cake - conclusion session at Alpha

We have come to the end of another training session. It is always a relieving feeling to finish a course. Now is the right time for us to reflect on the training program and what we could have done better.
Every set of students present their own unique requirements and the challenge for us is to identify the requirements and fulfill them.
We had a relatively small batch size this time(a total of 49 students),but just as much fun. One of the highlights of our training in the feedback from the students. We insist on feedback after every day's training. We also have a separate grading system wherein the students grade us for each of the subjects taught. This has gone a long way in improving the course and course contents.
The feedback is also an effective means of gauging whether we have met the expectations of the students and what requirements we have not addressed. The final feedback session is held on the last day of training.
The feedback is an extensive activity, we take individual feedback on each subject as well as a overall feedback on the technical, non-technical and overall course. the feedback is quantitative i.e, the students grade us between 1 and 4 , 1 being poor and 4 being excellent. Following is a snapshot of the feedback we received from the students of Alpha college .
Average overall technical rating =3.20
Average overall non-technical rating = 3.33
Average overall course rating =3.4
The concluding session was made very special by the presence of Prof. T.S.Rajamani, an eminent socialogist and trainer and Mr. Sai Prakash, director, Erin foundation.they spoke to the students about the importance of hardwork and motivated the students to aim high and subsequently reach one's goals.
This post would be incomplete if we do not mention the role of the placement office Mr. Ramachandra .The entire process of decision making and approval was completed within a short period of time and we were able to start the course within a week after we submitted the proposal.We have been offered another course in Alpha college for the next semester students. We hope to help the students to the best of our abilities in the future also.
