This course will emphasize the development of skills and summative, process, and outcome evaluation, with a focus on outcome evaluation. The strengths and limitations of program evaluation are explored along with the implementation of the Needs Assessment and how to conduct a Cost-Benefit analysis. Students will conduct statistical analyses to test program-based hypotheses. The Statistical Program for the Social Sciences (SPSS) will be incorporated into the classroom via lab time and used to develop skill in data entry and data analysis.
