Goals for External Evaluation

  • To oversee the formative evaluation of Project PACE
  • To design the evaluation plan
  • To critique the data gathering process, the findings and reports
  • To conduct the summative evaluation

External evaluation is performed by an External Advisory Committee and an independent external assessor, Arlen Gullickson, Ph.D. , of Western Michigan University. The External Advisory Committee meets every year near Missoula, and the Assessor visits UM-Missoula quarterly. Both the Committee and Assessor submit independent annual reports and evaluations.
