you will begin building the data analysis section for your revised Draft Evaluation Design, which will be part of your Final Evaluation Design (Final Project). Consider which measures of central tendency (mode, median, mean) and which measures of dispersion (e.g., variance, standard deviation, etc.) would be most appropriate for the information/data that you would need to measure in your evaluation design.
To prepare for this Assignment:
- Review the assigned reading in Chapter 12 of your course text, Research Methods for Public Administrators, paying particular attention to the types and uses of descriptive statistics.
- Think about when to use descriptive statistics and what types of descriptive statistics may work well for your evaluation design.
