Dr. Wiley FYC 4622 Program Planning and Evaluation: Recent Episodes
Kimberly Wiley
I discuss the relationship between your outcome indicator and your data collection. Then I explore instrument design.
In this episode, I explore considerations to make before, during, and after your evaluation that are not directly associated with program or evaluation design.
I describe three categories of key evaluation questions, how to write a summative evaluation question, and five criteria for choosing the right evaluation question. I also provide instructions for Activity 10.
I walk through the instructions, grading, and tips for success for the third part of your group project.
In this review, I cover logistics for the exam. I've also included practice questions from past episodes and from your class members.
We compare and contrast process and outcome evaluation. I offer an example of a process evaluation I conducted for the Illinois Association of Community Action Agencies.
Interview with Zoe Flowers about how empowerment and participatory evaluation are used to understand the impact of racism within organizations.
I offer strategies for college students transitioning to online learning during the pandemic.
Use these instructions to supplement the instructions provided in Canvas and the syllabus.
