Some thought it was helpful not only to their studies, but in thinking of solutions to problems that might as well
become a business also.

CONCLUSIONS AND ANALYSIS:
Extracting the results of the survey given, the following were concluded:
When asked if the forum was informative and useful for them, all thirty respondents agreed. However, roughly
47% expressed strong consent for this.
Twenty-six (26) out of thirty assented that the forum met their expectations, however one disagreed with this
and three (3) opted to agree nor disagree. Despite these, majority still sided with the positive results on their
expectations.
Twelve (12) respondents strongly agreed that forum addressed important issues in their field work/study, the
remaining numbers (16) meanwhile have agreed plainly to this, leading us to conclude that all respondents at
any rate agreed that forum has addressed things that could be of use to their studies/work.
Majority of the interviewees (18) strongly agreed that the forum provided them with opportunities to network
with other professionals in business and academe, while the other six respondents plainly agreed with this,
totaling a high number of 24 in all.
However, six (6) chose not to agree nor disagree with this statement.
Twenty-four people thought the forum has contributed in their enrichment/know-how as a student, half of these
twenty-four strongly confirmed this, while the remaining six respondents were still undecided between agreeing
and disagreeing.
Sixty percent (60%) of the respondents agreed on contacting and collaborating with the people they met here
after the forum to follow-up on ideas that they have discussed, while ten (10) were accounted for the
undecided people and two people expressed disagreement to such collaboration.
Lastly twenty-five (25) people acquiesced to have another seminar with a similar theme.
With all the data gathered, the VAC has concluded that although few mentioned that they still feel undecided over
pursuing the ideas that they have formulated during the forum, a great significant number have showed positive
response to the outcome and showed interest to have similarly-themed forums.
They also manifested their learning through confirming that the forum has helped them addressed important issues
concerning their studies and that it contributed to their enrichment and know-how skills.
