Any person or group that is implementing a program to improve a situation should know how to measure outcomes – using evidence to assess effectiveness. Funders demand that organizations assess their work and report findings. Doing good is no longer good enough. It is more important to demonstrate what happened as a result of the activity. This class will enable students to determine appropriate metrics for impact assessment, then to collect and analyze appropriate data and, finally, to report their findings to various stakeholders.
