Reflection and Evaluation

What went well: It was the first event for the new EngSoc Book Club and, although it had to be via Microsoft Teams, the event was successful and allowed for members of EngSoc to get to know each-other and engage in a casual discussion surrounding ‘Beloved’. Ahead of the event, a Facebook page was set up for the book club where people voted for this month’s book – ensuring it was a well organised and planned event. What didn’t go well: Although the event was promoted on Facebook, there was a smaller turnout than expected, which limited the experience of the people who did come to the event as there was limited opportunities to meet new people and engage in a wider discussion around the book. What could be improved next time?: More promotion of the book club meetings, not just on the Book Club’s Facebook page but on the general EngSoc Facebook page, would improve the next book club meeting as it would hopefully increase the turnout partially. Additionally, having an expert on the book/book genre from the university leading the meeting would help bring new viewpoints into the book discussion. What are the next steps?: The Book club is continuing monthly meetings, and upon looking at what could be improved and asking people how the meetings could be improved, the next meeting has been arranged with an expert of the book’s genre hosting it rather than myself or other EngSoc members, who will be able to further the casual discussion around the book.
