Among the following options, select the best course of action for Cynthia to take.
Cynthiahas been conducting a summative evaluation that investigated six dimensions. She completed all data collections as planned, except for the last dimensionfor whichshe was going to use three data sources. For the last dimension, it turned out to be that:
• The survey return rate was3%.
• One volunteered to participate in an interview when she planned to
do 10 interviews.
• The client could not locate the extant data that was going to be
analyzed.
a. Synthesize all dimensional results as planned, including this dimension.
b. Change it to a formative evaluation and also include recommendations based on this dimension’s results.
c. Report this dimension’s results with available data, but exclude this dimension from the synthesis process.
d. Do not mention this dimension in the report; it is sufficient to synthesize other five dimensions.
c. Report this dimension’s results with available data, but exclude this dimension from the synthesis process.
Cynthia is unable to determine the quality of the last dimension due to insufficient data. Thus, it is best if she synthesizes other dimensions, without this last dimension. However, she should still report the last dimension’s results and explain what happened, instead of removing it as if it was not included in the evaluation plan.
