The program evaluation

The program evaluation is very interesting and rewarding too. It has been so complex than I thought. It changed my perspectives about the process, goals and outcomes. I learned how to develop measurable goals. I started looking at the several programs going on in my institution with critical and professional eyes. There is much more to program evaluation than just evaluation itself. I was looking at the outcome of several programs in relation to what I learned from the class. It even made me think critically about the programs at our church at my kids' school and several local programs. I learned a lot from this class. Is evaluation a science? Stake states in chapter 9 that science is systemized knowledge obtained from observation, study, and experimentation, carried on to determine the nature or principles of what is being studied. In evaluation we use all of these. What are your reflections?
