This assignment is a continuation from the
previous assignment you helped me with.
The purpose in conducting program evaluations is to demonstrate benefits offered by
programs. Program evaluations consist of either summative or formative types. Whereas
summative evaluations assess a program's operations and usefulness, formative evaluations
explain the ways in which a program operates to improve the way in which it functions. In
this assignment, you will write a paper in which you discuss the summative and formative
types of evaluation and their appropriate applications to organizations.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment: Refer to the mission statement and program description from the existing
organization that you used in the Module 2 assignment. Use these documents as
examples for this assignment as well. Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is
recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in
order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for
successful completion of the assignment. Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The
APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center. This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources
related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions
in the Student Success Center. Directions:
Write a paper (1,000-1,250 words) in which you discuss summative and formative types of
