Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Impact or summative evaluation is concerned with the immediate impact of a program on a target group. Asking how behavior will change based on what was learned in the class demonstrates the impact the class had on the participant. Process or formative evaluation answers the question: Are we doing what we said we would do? Some authors make a distinction between formative and process evaluation by using process to denote evaluation conducted during the program, whereas formative may be applied at formative or preprogram stages. Long-term outcome evaluation is where it is discovered whether the changes had a lasting and real effect. All the other questions answer the process by which the class is taught or when it is held and do not show the impact the class had on the participant.
