1. Evaluation of the LANGURE Mini-Course
In 2006, the LANGURE project conducted a mini-course for LANGURE fellows to provide a detailed explanation of the project, its goals and expectations. Approximately 71 fellows participated in a mini-course. On June 15, 2006 an on-line survey was administered to all mini-course participants in order to assess the extent to which the mini-course had achieved its objectives. Two additional follow-up invitations were administered on June 20 and 29, 2006. A total of 41 participants completed the survey yielding a 58% response rate.
