Re:Module 3 DQ 2

The major types of program evaluation are summative and formative. The summative evaluations bring support to the decision to terminate or continue a program (Nieveen, & Folmer, 2013). The formative evaluations look at the areas that require improvement (Nieveen, & Folmer, 2013). The decision on which be better is effected by the reasoning for the evaluation. However, it can be prudent to perform both a formative and summative evaluation. The formative evaluation brings insight into what needs improvement (Nieveen, & Folmer, 2013). The summative evaluation identifies of the changes that need to occur which ones are feasible. Weighing the feasibility of the changes according to resources of personal, finances, and time provides support for continuing or discontinuing a program.
