One of the main goals of this course this semester is to be able to discern what makes for a successful event and what leads to failure. The difference between success and failure can often mean millions of dollars in the highly competitive world of sport and recreation.

As a precursor to discussing the above this semester, I think it will be prudent to examine what you, as a highly coveted target market for sport event organizers, feel makes for a good event and what makes for a bad event. This short, early semester assignment is meant to offer you a chance to make clear what you value as important in the operation of an effective sport or recreation event.

What is the last sport/recreation event that you went to as a spectator?

Fill out the rest of the "W" questions. Where did it take place? Who was competing/ participating? When did it happen? Why did you choose to go to this event?

What was your impression of the event? Was it enjoyable? Was it not? And why do you feel that way? Be honest! Negative reviews are often as enlightening as positive ones.

If you could make a few recommendations as to how the event could be better operated, what would you tell the event's organizers?

Finally, assign a letter grade to the overall event experience/operation in your honest opinion.
