I thought this seminar was
extremely well prepared and ran pretty smoothly. For the first criterion,
‘seminar content is focused and relevant’, I gave them a distinction. I did
this because I thought the questions they asked their guests were very relevant
and tailored towards finding more about how to actually get into the industry,
rather than just the way it was run. I particularly liked how they asked each
of the guests to share their own personal story of how they entered the industry,
as it provided real life examples of how to do so rather than just general
advice. I would have given them an HD but I felt that even though I enjoyed the
band performance at the end, I didn’t think it was entirely relevant and felt
like it was kind of tacked on at the end just for added entertainment. That
said, it did make the seminar more memorable and break up the talking. For the
‘guests relevance to topic and career development’ I gave them ah HD. I liked
the fact that they had four guests from very different positions at very
different radio stations. I thought it was particularly great that they had May
Hu from SBS there, because she provided a very interesting perspective on radio
from a different culture. The guests were also at very different stages in
their career and of varied ages, and I felt this helped to give a broader
perspective of where a career in radio can lead. I gave the group another D for
the ‘quality of the seminar facilitation’. They did have a few different sound
and lighting issues that were noticeable, but I really liked the way that they
had structured the seminar and talked to each guest individually before moving
into the panel discussion. I awarded them a credit for audience participation,
because I didn’t think there was a whole lot of this. And finally I gave them a
HD for the promotion of the seminar, because I had noticed a lot of signage and
marketing material online in the lead up to the seminar.
