Hi all, I feel like there are probably data somewhere, but I'm looking for information about the rate of drop-off at Carpentry-style workshops (and/or those of similar durations) when taught on consecutive days, versus when they are spread out over several weeks (e.g. one half-day session per week).
Note that information about free workshops would be most helpful, knowing that charging a fee improves attendance, but I'll take what I can get. I *am* hoping for data outside of (although in comparison with) semester-long/for-credit courses over which the Carpentry materials are taught, for which I know attendance is improved for obvious reasons. Thank you, in advance, for any pointers!
