[SURVEY LINK]
11+
12+
A few specific things I'm curious about:
13+
- Was the task list helpful? Were tasks well-scoped?
14+
- Did you get enough mentor support?
15+
- What would you change about the format?
16+
- Would you come back next time?
17+
18+
Your honest feedback (positive or constructive) helps us improve.
19+
Thank you!
