Thank you for your replies. In fact, in the last year I have had MANY fewer comments than I did when the site first started off, even though vastly more people are using it. Frankly, I hope that this is because I have reacted to your suggested changes and made a site which is more useful. In all, therefore, I only have 24 replies to comment on, which is not very many at all.
Found:I was very interested to find out what brought you to my site. Here are the results so far:
Which is really interesting. More people are being referred by their teachers, and many fewer are arriving from other sites - is this because johndclare.net is becoming more established, because more people know about it and go straight there.
Usefulness:I was delighted by the results for this question:
which I took to be a vote of satisfaction.
Suggestions:Not everyone who completes the Contact form has a suggestion, but these are the ones I have received so far (and what I have done about them):

no -it's a real find. Many thanks |
Some of you were quite happy with the site as it is, and were kind enough to say so. Thanks. It makes it all worthwhile! |

But once I found this website instead of getting E's i've been getting A*'s thank you so so so so so so so much whatever you do, PLEASE DON'T CLOSE IT DOWN! Thanks again dude. whoever you are or whatever you are.. are you a teacher or something? Well byeeee im off to get ready for a exam. Joyyy |

|
Excellent site!! |
|
Excellent site, makes me realise how much I actually do know, amazingly! |
|
please stop giving sheets to my teacher hes John D clare crazy |
This one says the same, really, in an amusing way! |
I would like you to do an A level one; you really helped on many of my worries at GCSE and now I am doing A level, I have nowhere to turn too.... |
And this one is really kind too, although I'm afraid that I've never taught A-Level, and wouldn't be able to give the right kind of help. |
Of the comments that suggested improvements:
A hard copy booklet for america and more on nazi germany please |
Yes - I'm sorry, I need to do some more work on America in a number of areas. But I'm surprised about Nazi Germany - there's loads there if you look. |
Hard copy booklet and self test for America but excellent site overall, thanks! |
|
more on option V please :D btw my history teacher loves you! |
Again, I think that you will find there's loads on Option V if you look. |
Could you please add stuff about the Liberal Reforms and stuff? Pleasssseeeeee? |
Hmmm. More difficult. I hope to do one day but you will have finished your GCSE. For the moment try Bitesize. |
Arab Israeli conflict... if you have any spare time, thanks! |
Very unlikely; will this survive when they change GCSE? |
A self-test for Britain in World War II please. |
Good idea - must do. |
Popular/common source questions that tend to appear on exam papers to be annotated online. By the way , this is the best History Gcse website ever!!! its really helpful. |
REALLY good idea. I would like to try that!! |
drag and drop questions |
Are you sure these are a good way to learn? From what I see, pupils do them without much thought. |
More example essays/ more critical approach |
Like the idea of the more critical approach = more on historiography? |
Canadian involvement in WWII, they were fairly significant. ie. the Gouzenko Affair and Lester B. Pearson's contribution to the Suez Crisis. I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, this website is absolutely amazingly helpful! :) |
A bit too specialist for me, and I'm not really an expert on Canadian history. Sounds REALLY fascinating, though. |
studies on theology |
Sorry - wrong site, though I was a Methodist preacher many years ago! |
Could be a bit more clearly/professionally laid out. All the information is here but it can be hard to find. |
I'm sorry about this - did your opinion change as you became more familiar with the site? I will think about this. |
