PSYCH 315EE - Evaluation Procedures

Evaluation practice comprises the integration of three facets: (1) program context (e.g., stakeholders, politics, maturity of the program, complexity of the program, etc.); (2) evaluators (e.g., level of expertise, theoretical perspectives, competency, etc.); and (3) evaluation methods (e.g., type of design, interviews, surveys, case studies, RCTs, etc.). These facets are interrelated and constantly evolving, yet need to be in balance for effective evaluation practice to emerge. Thus, this class is designed to cover these three facets as well as the stages of and methods for conducting program evaluations that are theoretically grounded, practical, and useful.
