Implementing an evaluation process

An evaluation process is designed to collect data in a systematic way

- and this is true of both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Thought has to be given to how the evaluation will be implemented

What methods you will use to implement your data collection?

Will the evaluation be run eg. in class or tutorial or in the students' own time?

What are the options to use computer-based data collection? What are the issues surrounding this?

Some of these issues will influence the cooperation from the students/subjects. For example, if you ask students to take a survey away and return the completed copy at the next class, you will tend to get a very low response rate. If you ask students to come along to an evaluation interview outside class times, you will tend to get a poor response rate and a large no-show rate.
