Description

Students will be submitting their logic models this week and should be considering their agency as a whole. The reading from Royse (2023) looks at formative and process evaluations, and we will start class by looking at some of the considerations we should have for process evaluations. During week seven, we will be considering your research question so that you can narrow down exactly what part of the program you are evaluating is being examined. Student will complete their logic models this week. During class, we will discuss how to use our logic models to develop a program description. There will also be a discussion about presentations, and students will be able to complete midterm feedback.
