Details:
After the data are collected
and before program evaluators meet with management, the data must be analyzed
to ensure that it will provide the right type of information for the
evaluation. Of vital importance is ensuring that the data fit the indicators
identified for analysis. Then, it must be decided how the data and results will
be presented. It is important to present the information in ways that make it
easy to understand, demonstrate relationships to other data, and allow the
information to be used to support decision-making processes. In this
assignment, you will write about the methods of analyzing and reporting the
study data.
