Notes on 2012 courses
• Lottery overbooked, as usual
– We have limited number of teachers
– Level 1 courses very popular
– SU and C very popular too since a few years
• YCC+CNV dinghy course
– Continue positive experience
• Students are often absent/ have busy schedule
– Puts strain on course organisation
• Low passing rates this year for 2nd level courses
– In particular ED, EC and SU

Questionnaire
• New in 2012
– Introduced by Michel Chevalier for Y course, extended
to other courses. 22 completed responses
• Notable feedback (although partial sample):
–
–
–
–
“courses meet expectations”
Average students sailing time: 1 or 2 outings per week
Students would like to have a few more course outings
More structure to the course
• Some students felt lack of uniform teaching method
– More information at registration time on the needed
time commitment for the course
