LDRS 861 - Program Evaluation

Credits: 3
Designed to cover major theoretical, methodological, and practical issues in program evaluation. Emphasis is given to key elements for the study of evaluation, including the history and modern concepts of evaluation; theoretical notions aligned with evaluation; design elements in evaluation studies; the setting and implementation of intervention programs; and the development, presentation, and use of evaluation results. This course will draw on previous course work in social theory, leadership, and methods. Students will use their collective knowledge to develop a synthesis of applied research geared toward assessing program processes, outcomes, and impacts and formulating actions for intervention improvements.
