Hi Alicia!
Your Padlet is wow!  I really liked the format and how the information flows throughout the presentation. Just as a minor suggestion, I do think to survey some of the members mentioned in the resources/inputs would answer a lot of the key evaluation questions and some of the questions found in the data collection section thus, simplifying the assignment while giving you the chance to really conduct a thorough analysis.  Great work!

Hi Alicia,
Great job on the padlet. This sounds like a great program, certainly an empowering program for a community college. It definitely seems like something that would positively effect retention. In going into your data collection, I would think about utilizing a survey and direct questions in regards to the mentors and the effectiveness on that aspect. Mentors can be a tricky thing when they are assigned. It would be interesting to know if the connection to the mentor had a positive or negative impact on the program, especially in regards to student retention.

Hi, Alicia!  Your padlet is very thorough, and your voice narrative enhanced the presentation by explaining the details of the program and evaluation.  I like that you focused on using the data to improve the structure of the program.  Your evaluation questions seem on track.  I was just wondering about the personal growth piece that you mentioned as part of the three areas of enhancement (professional, personal, and academic).  Do any of your questions directly address that aspect of the program?  Maybe number three does, and perhaps it does not need to be included at all as part of the evaluation.  Just food for thought...Patti

4. What was the correlation between the women’s completion of the program and the rate of graduation

For this particular evaluation the summative evaluation will be the most effective. The summative evaluation occurs at the end of a program cycle and it provides an overall description of program effectiveness. Summative evaluations examine program outcomes to determine overall program effectiveness and it is a method for answering some of the following questions (Russ-eft & Preskill, 2009):

•    Were your program objectives met?

•    Will you need to improve and modify the overall structure of the program?

•    What is the overall impact of the program?

•    What resources will you need to address the program’s weaknesses?
