Task-9<\/a>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

            Throughout this course, I have learned critical skills needed to evaluate programs. Through the utilization of discussion boards and a mock evaluation, I am confident in my ability to assess a program and see its impact on my community. I am also optimistic about understanding an evaluation and utilizing the recommendations within. This can be seen in my findings: https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cateportfolio\/task-8-findings\/. Starting with Task 0, I identified a program that addressed a problem within my community and gathered the necessary information to show why an evaluation would be important. This can be seen here: https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cateportfolio\/task-0\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The mock evaluation also showed me the importance of a literature review.  This task has also benefitted other areas, such as grant writing. The annotated bibliography was an excellent opportunity to research similar programs effectively. I was also able to find several evaluations identical to the one I would be conducting, which allowed me to see that I was on the right track. The literature review also proved beneficial in completing other tasks, such as the mind map and research plan. I have provided the links to those tasks here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
