Question 1

When it comes to the tradeoffs associated with training evaluation, it would be accurate to say all of the following are TRUE except for:

a) A reasonable rule of thumb would be to design an evaluation procedure that is just elaborate enough to obtain the desired results

b) With a more involved and elaborate evaluation procedure, more complete results are obtained however at a greater cost

c) There is a need to balance what information and data is needed with the difficulty and costs of obtaining same

d) A comprehensive training evaluation should encompass the training itself, justification for training, and value of the training

e) a) Evaluation isn't a single procedure but rather a continuum of techniques, methods and measures

Question 2

The best way to describe the purpose of a training evaluation would be:

a) Descriptive evaluation is readily obtained through a variety of variables, while causal evaluation is more challenging and limited to obtain

b) There is no direct connection between the four purposes of an evaluation, and therefore it would be optimal to incorporate all four into an evaluation

c) Formative evaluation is most appropriate when a training program is first developed, while summative evaluation is most appropriate after a training program has been in place for an extended period of time

d) The most important evaluation purpose is causal because it demonstrates the actual results and outcomes of the training

e) Formative evaluation is more concerned with the performance of the trainees, while summative is more concerned with the performance of the trainers
