Extra Evaluation Questions

We encourage program specific questions on the online evaluation. We will send a copy of the results if you choose to include extra questions. Add up to five (5) extra questions (one per line) below.

Presenter name(s) (required)

Title

Affiliation (company/institution)

Please attach a single file containing the following 4 or 5 items:

Program objectives
The learning outcomes for your program
A final agenda for the program
The presenter's expertise/qualifications related to the program/training
If applicable, college credit statement

Outcome statements typically specify the knowledge, skills, or attitudes learners will acquire and be able to demonstrate during or following the learning experience. Learners should be aware of these intended learning outcomes prior to and during the activity.

The agenda must show specific training subjects. It must also include break times (10-15 minutes for every 2.5 hours of instruction) and meal breaks (full day sessions should include a 30-60 minute lunch period). Any agenda or program changes must be approved by WMU before the first day of the program via written request.

Please Note: Agendas must reflect the number of hours indicated for the program, excluding breaks. Once the program is approved, you and/or your presenter must run the program according to the final agenda submitted with this application. This means there can be no changes to the program agenda. As an example, a presenter or administrator cannot:

Skip breaks to allow early release.
Shorten the lunch break to allow early release.
Change the start time.
Make the end time earlier (if you run over that’s okay)
Change program dates without prior approval from the Sponsor.

You must attach in writing a statement from the college that the college is aware of, and approves, the program being offered for SCECHs. Following the program, the instructor must provide in writing the names of all participants that fully met all program requirements.
