This six-part video Evaluation Basics for Non-Evaluators series is based on a live webinar EvaluATE presented in partnership with Mentor-Connect in March 2018.* It provides a basic orientation to evaluation for individuals who are planning to submit proposals to the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education program. Each video addresses one of six questions about evaluation often asked by individuals who are new to evaluation and the ATE program.
*A recording of the live webinar, including Q&A, is available from http://www.evalu-ate.org/webinars/2018-mar/
