Are Participants Good Evaluators?

Jeffrey Smith, Alexander Whalley and Nathaniel Wilcox

in Books from Upjohn Press from W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research

Abstract: Managers of workforce training programs are often unable to afford costly, full-fledged experimental or nonexperimental evaluations to determine their programs’ impacts. Therefore, many rely on the survey responses of program participants to gauge program impacts. Smith, Whalley, and Wilcox present the first attempt to assess such measures despite their already widespread use in program evaluations.
