Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Retrospective evaluation is designed after the program is completed, or at least in the process of being implemented. Prospective evaluation is planned and criteria are determined prior to program implementation. Process evaluation is one concerned with the quality of interactions between program staff and recipients. Outcome evaluation focuses on the consequences of the program for the health and welfare of the population.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Empowerment evaluation assists populations to develop the skills to assess and improve their own quality of life. Delaying decisions about a program, calling for a discontinuation of a program, and increasing the resources in a program contribute to the data included in an empowerment evaluation.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
