_______________________________________________________________

Two strengths relating to supervisors abilities: Devon was a great teacher to the
participants, the volunteers, and to Shane and I. We were able to learn from him
to better improve future events.

Two suggested areas of improvements: Devon could work on being more

available through phone and email. It was sometimes hard to coordinate when
and where to meet up with him because we could not get ahold of him.
Additionally, Devon said that he would help us run the event and that we had
nothing to worry about, and to create an overall vision of how we wanted the
event to go. When we told him our vision he argued against us and did not fully
understand what we really wanted to achieve. He did help us really well in the
first half of the event when he was teaching the participants tennis, but during the
second half of the event when we really needed his guidance, he was less willing
to help out.

Personal statement about willingness to work in this setting in the future: I think
he was a good supervisor, but you dont necessary want a GOOD supervisor
when you can have a GREAT supervisor. However, we should continue to work
with him and that agency in the future.

Overall: Devon did well as a supervisor and was able to help us to the best of his
abilities. There was some miscommunication at times, but in the end everything
worked out and was a success. I would give him an overall score of 3 or average.
