PHL 532B Applied Aspects of Program Planning, Implementation and Evaluation I (4) II The purpose of this class will be to expose students to applied aspects of program planning, implementation and evaluation. Classroom theory must often be adapted in the field to meet real world constraints placed on programs. Time, money, differing agendas of stakeholders, failure to adhere to protocol, being asked to evaluate after the program has commenced, and failure of the community to understand utility of program models are but a few of the factors that require those responsible for planning, implementing and evaluating to be able to "think on their feet".
