Evaluation

The process that involves systematic analysis that allows determination of a certain nature of an ongoing activity in which efficiency as well as the efficiency of work that is on progress or the one that has been completed to give a final quality of certain aspect. Evaluation has three different goals that it always fulfills to ensure there is a well and better measurement of an activity. However, goals of evaluation depend on the main scope of the activity.

Most evaluation goals include motivation in that when a certain activity is evaluated the aspect of motivation factor that allows individuals that are involved to have a push force to do better on that particular activity (Allen et al, 2016). The second goal of motivation involves advocacy of efficiency. This is evident since when an evaluation is done about an activity be it in a business the workers can weigh in their efficiency and improve on their productivity from previous output to a more improved production as a result of gauging efficiency. This is done through the use of minimum input to get maximum output. Evaluation is also done in a firm or a company to ensure that there is time management as planned in by organization as it is well known that time management is the basic key aspect in ensuring continuity of a firm, Therefore, an evaluation analyze e all-time factors that have been consumed for future planning to enhance continuation of a certain project in a company.

When any evaluation is done whatsoever the reason some things are highly considered which are essential in completing the exercise these factors include a product of work done in the project being evaluated, the main attitude that goes hand in hand with evident behaviors, and finally progression of the project towards goals achievement. In this case it is evident when the individuals performing the work have a regular motivational capability that would yield a better result.

Different factors can be encountered in the process of evaluation in that they can be either politically based or culturally based (Fuld et al, 2018). These are factors that affect the evaluation process in either a positive or negative way leading to either poor evaluation results or better results. Cultural factors include all beliefs and customs that are related to a particular group of people. The most effective cultural factor include language in that this can bring about an issue in evaluation. When it comes to a firm there must be a language that people around that area are well entitled to and they understand well. Some of these languages are not globally known therefore, creating a drawback due to lack of communication among the staff who carry out evaluation and individuals being evaluated.

The other cultural factor involves religion where people have different religions that they believe in. These religions have specific ways of carrying out things as per their doctrine. This means that other aspects cannot be evaluated due to religious restrictions (Westbrook, 2017). For example, Jews believe that their resting day is Saturday in that they should strictly carry no activity during that day as a result this affects other activities that probably had been scheduled on that particular day. This goes hand in hand with Muslims also who have their day of worshiping that is different from other groups. This signifies that the world is a multicultural in that issues such as religion stands to be an inhibiting factor. Another cultural factor relates to basic needs which is food that is mostly presented in different cultures in different ways and names.

Some communities do not share food due to low appreciation of different cultures (Blau, 2019). When it comes to evaluation of projects in a firm involving food there may be a record of biasness due to individuals who are from different cultures failing to appreciate what is being presented to them.

Other factors fall within the category of political factors. Such factors include various levels of bureaucracy, an existing culture in a business such as corruption and which indicates the level of corruption in business, established government system and finally the 

cycle involved in democratic nations; all these are political factors that consequently affect the outcome.

When it comes to evaluation sampling and design used can only be geared by several well-considered aspects such as the group that is involved and the entire population. This is a useful factor due to the consideration of statistical values that would be obtained in getting the final value. However, when it comes to choosing a sampling technique it should be considered that the sample used should be well understood, use of the correct experimental evaluation design (Zhu, 2019). There is the need to select a sample that is randomly acquired allowing all members in that particular population an equal chance of being among the selectee. This technique allows the advantage of saving o time as well as making sure that evaluation is fully done in an equal representation.

Several sampling techniques have been used in ensuring that sampling in an evaluation is correctly done. This includes random sampling in which it is a technique in sampling that gives all involved members equal chance in that all units selected are randomly identified to avoid biased results. The second type that ought to be used is a stratified method of sampling that consists of a well-defined aspect of dividing the population into groups based on the same characteristics such as age, and economic position of the population (Trewet et al, 2016). This would be better since it allows well representation of a character that is being evaluated much better.

  When it comes to assessment two main methods can be used in the process of evaluation to achieve the level of needed assessment result. In this case both qualitative and quantitative assessments are essential in giving accurate data (Liang et al, 2019). When it comes to assessment using qualitative aspects that can be observed checking out weather the assessed project is suitable for use. The quantitative aspect of assessment involves looking at given data if they suit the project workability. This process goes hand in hand with used time and the time that is remaining to enable the use of given time in most cases project timelines do not meet the given qualification therefore evaluation should be able to look at the time allowed to be concluded therefore giving a merit during the assessment.

Worksheet

Questions	Task	Timeline	Personnel	Cost	Reporting timeline
What is the relationship between the project and expected results?	Starting up the project	In 2 Days	Student and lecturer	100- 200 $	Within 3 days
Is it enjoyable to have the project?	Students evaluation	1-2 weeks	Students		After the 3rd week
What are the challenges involved in the project?	Test of project	3 days	Individuals	450 $	4th day after project test
How well is the project done in a scale of ten?	Corrections	1 week	Professors	300$	Week 5
Are the project objectives and the goals met?	Completion of project	4 days	Evolution panel	400$	Week 6

The process that involves the analysis and modeling of any involved cost in that the cost of the above worksheet in evaluation is being validated the cost that is related to activities carried out in the whole process. According to the cost analysis of the above project (Katzman, 2017). The whole project would consume at about 1000$ with an additional cost of 300$ that is calculated as any cost that will be involved apart from the worksheet above cost to meet other costs of resources. However, this cost is calculated at a minimum cost of all input whereby the maximum cost that would be incurred to make sure the evaluation of the project is successful can also fall between 1500$.
