Homework
The organization that I plan to conduct project on is a public university in California.
As you have read, needs assessments can be conducted in a structured, typically quantified process or by more free-form inquiry. Considering the organization at which you plan to create your program plan, describe how you would use a structured needs assessment and a free-form needs assessment to identify the program planning needs of the organization, being certain to indicate clearly the similarities and differences between the two processes. You should engage your contacts at the organization as necessary for clarification about process, personnel, and other matters.
Before you begin the answer, consider whether you would anticipate the results of the needs assessments (structured and nonformal) to be the same. Do you feel the same after completing the homework?
