Evaluation of the 2021 International High Performance Computing Summer School (IHPCSS)

Abstract

The evaluation of the 2021 International High-Performane Computing Summer School (IHPCSS) used several surveys to assess students’ entry characteristics and expectations (Pre-event Survey), their progress during the Summer School (three mid-point check-ins), their perceptions upon exit from the Summer School (Post-event survey), and the experience of the Summer School Mentors (Mentor Post-event Survey). The results of the mid-point check-in surveys were distributed to organizers during the Summer School to guide program management in real-time and will not be discussed here. Results of the Pre-event Survey, Post-event Survey, and Mentor Post-event Survey are presented here.
