Program Evaluation Form: Fill & Download for Free

Given that Peter Rossi himself has said he no longer believes it, it safe to say it’s probably not true:[1]“The laws as stated give the false impression that they rest on empirical data. However, I did not undertake anything that might be remotely called empirical research. I had certainly read a rather large number of evaluations reports and articles. I had formed a strong impression at the time that most evaluations done in the decades before 1982 had found programs ineffective. I still do not have or know of any empirical studies of the outcomes of all program evaluations or any reasonable sample of program evaluations, although there are a fairly large number of meta-analyses that summarize outcomes of evaluations dealing with some specific substantive areas. Based on my continued reading of evaluations, impressions are now different…It should be quite obvious that currently I believe that the Iron and Stainless Steel Laws cannot be taken seriously as originally stated. “Footnotes[1] http://welfareacademy.org/rossi/Rossi_Remarks_Iron_Law_Reconsidered.pdf

If I took over for HR- the first thing Id change is the internship evaluation form belonging to my business. HR should help consult and drive the right strategies for effective internship programs- they can offer advice on setting talent guidelines and pipelining- but the business should own the evaluation process.

YesI did an introductory session on OOP in MATLAB and solving differential equations for all first year bioengineering graduate students.I also prepared and taught 5 lectures in thermodynamics and one in transport processes for bio and chemical engineers (sophomores/juniors).I have had plenty of other opportunities (including teaching fellowships) that I have had to pass on, because the only thing that will get you anywhere in academia is "publishing good quality papers". Or so I am told.The easiest thing to do is to convince your advisor that you are (a) interested in teaching, (b) enjoy it very much and (c) are good it. Your advisor will either let you teach his/her class when he/she is not around or at a conference, and also let you know of other opportunities.But before that you have to TA first and establish yourself as someone who is good. In my program, all graduate students have to TA for one year. When you spend 5-6hrs a week, solving problems and interacting with 50-100 students for a year, people know if you are good. Students also get to fill out evaluation forms for TAs (at least in Maryland), so, if you make an impression, your department and other faculty members will know about it as well.Many schools award their best teaching assistants with distinguished/outstanding teaching assistant awards. Getting one of those awards will give you some recognition and credibility that you can build on.Graduate schools also offer teaching fellowships, some even let you prepare and teach summer courses. It might be a good idea to check your graduate school website for more details.PS: This answer is only applicable to (most or at least some) STEM programs in the U.S.
