Applied EE Program Evaluation Syllabus
There are seven units in the AEEPE course. Each unit focuses on
an aspect of program evaluation, beginning with an understanding of
the importance of evaluation and progressing to the actual planning
and implementation of an evaluation. Each unit is divided into
several sections that build on the previous sections. All course
participants should proceed through the units in sequential order
according to the dates in the following table. This facilitates
discussion board participation and the instructor's review of your
