This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts and procedures for conducting evaluations. Step-by-step guidelines and other resources for planning, implementing, managing, and evaluating service-oriented field evaluations are presented and used by students on an evaluation planning project. The course focuses primarily on program-level evaluations. The principles covered are equally pertinent to the evaluation of courses, products, personnel, and policies within a variety of fields. Working collaboratively in small teams, students will systematically design an evaluation plan and conduct evaluation as the final project for the course. Discussions will cover professional standards in conducting evaluations of educational programs.
