Students will learn techniques for evaluating assessments, and will learn to develop research designs for formative evaluations, summative evaluations and needs studies. Prerequisites: AP/POLS 3300 6.00 or AP/PPAS 3300 6.00, or permission of the Instructor. Course credit exclusions: AP/POLS 4300 6.00, AP/PPAS 4300 6.00, GL/POLS 4300 6.00.
