Goals
Please rate to the extent you agree with the following statements with 4=Agree and 1=Disagree.

The pre-workshop communications gave me the information I needed to learn about and prepare for the workshop series.

Materials on the website were useful in preparing for the workshop series.

The design of the workshop series facilitated exchange of expertise among participants.

The events in the program engaged me in active learning related to its goals.

The workshop sessions were well facilitated.

The logistics for the workshop series were well executed.

I believe the goals of the workshop series as stated were met:

a. Create a diverse collection of seismic tomography visualizations that demonstrate the range of seismological practices that generate and interpret tomograms

b. Demonstrate cutting edge advances in seismic tomography research and provide participants with understanding in the range of seismic tomography practices, how tomograms are created, what their strengths and limitations are, and how they interpreted in terms of Earth structure, composition, and dynamics

c. Develop effective teaching practices using seismic tomographic methods and images, including the development of teaching activities and demonstrations that are appropriate for different instructional levels and using current results of learning science that inform learning through the use of seismic tomography

d. Demonstrate to participants the use of a variety of seismological software codes that can produce seismic tomographic images through an inversion of seismic data of different forms
