Program Evaluation: Part 2
Homework Assignment for Week 2 of Program Evaluation
HW 2 and Discussion = 15 Points 
If you have not yet completed HW 1/Discussion, you should start that assignment immediately and then begin on HW 2.
First, Think About It:
Remember last week when you were asked to locate published evidence that (1) you had appropriately identified and problem, and (2) that the strategies you would implement in your program had shown previous success with similar populations? Go back and refresh your memory about the contents of the publication.
Next, Answer the Discussion Question:
Provide an overview of your two most promising articles.

Restate the Goal of your Proposed Program for the readers, then
Using APA style manual, provide a correct citation for each article.
In your own words (I will be watching and checking), provide an overview or summary of the major points and conclusions as demonstrated in the article.
Specifically, why was this article helpful to you? What strategies do you plan to use from it in the design of your own program? What makes you think your program will show similar success to the article you read about?
If there are differences in the two situations (problem, people, location, etc.) in your program to the ones addressed in the article, either what will you do to overcome those differences or why do you believe the strategy should still work?

Third, Talk about It:
Provide constructive feedback to at least one other person. Feel free to discuss any interesting points in the article or about the problem in general. It is ok to have interesting side conversations that relate to the topic at hand.
