Personal and Program Evaluation

By now you've spent considerable time reflecting on your program and the accomplishments you made. You've completed most of your courses; you've reflected on theory and ideas from those courses as you analyzed various case studies; you've articulated your development towards program goals and milestones in your eportfolio and used evidence to support your claims.

As an assignment due next unit, you will critically review your program and your performance. Every program has strengths and weaknesses. As you complete the Program Evaluation assignment you should identify these strengths and weaknesses. This will allow us to continue doing the good things while striving to improve the not-so-good things. As you write these documents, keep them constructive.

Points to consider might include:

The quality and clarity of program information as found in websites, handbooks, and personal communication with faculty and staff
Clarity of program expectations and milestones
Relevance of courses in regards to personal and professional needs and goals
Feelings of community and connectedness among students and faculty in distance delivery, online programs
Access to faculty and students
Availability of resources (e.g., library materials, time) to complete course and program expectations
Bridges and/or barriers to success
Memorable events (for better or worse)
