| The written handout materials were helpful. | 4.58 (0.67) | 4.50 (0.65) | 4.53 (0.65) |
| I appreciated the opportunity to respond to the questions in writing when I didn’t get a chance to verbally. | 4.00 (0.74) | 4.12 (0.73) | 4.08 (0.72) |
| I would have preferred to have the presenter information at least 2 days in advance to prepare. | 2.67 (1.37) | 3.00 (1.30) | 2.89 (1.31) |
