In the real world, most program evaluation projects do not need to be completed in eight weeks. For this discussion, consider the possibilities that could be addressed if a program evaluator had the luxury of time. If time had not been a factor in the project that you just completed, what changes would you make?
For example, would you be able to evaluate more questions and variables? Would it be wise to use more assessment instruments or to assess participants more often? Would you choose different assessment measures? Would the evaluation period last longer? If so, how long? What would make it an ideal evaluation project?
Find an example of a published study that demonstrates some of the program techniques that we have discussed in this course. Would you recommend any changes to the study methods? Why or why not?
