For Critique #2, you will find a program evaluation of your choosing in your area of
interest – the only time an instructor will tell you that a Google search is okay : ). Make sure that
the critique you choose can address the questions listed below. If you would like me to review
your choice for Critique #2, I would be glad to do so. Critiques will be uploaded to Canvas and
will go through Turnitin.
The critique should be a minimum of 6 pages (excluding title page, evaluation plan worksheet,
and references), doubled spaced, in a 12 point font, with 1-inch margins. The use of headings is
generally helpful to the reader.
Questions that should be addressed
1. What was the purpose of the evaluation and who commissioned the study?
2. What are the questions addressed in the evaluation?
3. Is the evaluation formative or summative? External or Internal?
4. What evaluation approach(es) are used by the evaluators?
5. What conclusions and recommendations do the evaluators make and are they
valid/supported based on the design, data collection and results?
6. How useful do you think the evaluation is to administrators and staff?
7. How would you improve the design of the evaluation? Include at least one
new/additional evaluation question you would ask.
8. Based on your response to Question #7, new question(s) only, complete an evaluation
plan similar to those suggested on page 355-357 of the text (a template will also be
provided on Canvas with the class materials, as well as completed examples in a folder
under Modules, near the bottom).
You should spend the most brain power on #5 thru #8 and as much space as possible on #7. I
am most interested in your thoughts and criticism.
If you find you have no suggestions for improvement, you may want to pick another evaluation.
It doesn’t have to be a ‘bad’ evaluation, just one where you have suggestions for improvement.
