  1. Which evaluation framework emphasizes stakeholder participation throughout the entire evaluation process?

    Answer: Participatory evaluation

    Participatory evaluation actively involves program stakeholders — including beneficiaries — in designing, conducting, and interpreting the evaluation.

  2. A logic model's 'assumptions' box refers to:

    Answer: Conditions believed necessary for the program to work

    Assumptions are the conditions and beliefs that must hold true for the program's theory of change to produce the intended outcomes.

  3. Which data collection instrument is best suited for capturing nuanced stakeholder perspectives on program implementation challenges?

    Answer: Semi-structured interview

    Semi-structured interviews allow evaluators to explore emerging themes while ensuring key topics are covered, capturing rich qualitative data.

  4. Under the OMB Uniform Guidance, which threshold triggers requirements for a single audit?

    Answer: $750,000 in federal expenditures

    Organizations expending $750,000 or more in federal awards in a fiscal year must conduct a single audit per 2 CFR Part 200.

  5. An evaluator uses propensity score matching to create comparable groups. What does propensity score represent?

    Answer: The probability of treatment assignment given observed covariates

    Propensity score is the estimated probability that a unit receives treatment given its observed pre-treatment characteristics, used to balance comparison groups.

  6. Which type of reliability refers to the consistency of results across different evaluators scoring the same data?

    Answer: Inter-rater reliability

    Inter-rater reliability measures the degree to which two or more independent raters produce the same scores when evaluating the same material.

  7. A grant program measures 'number of participants who obtained employment within 6 months' as a key metric. This is an example of:

    Answer: An outcome indicator

    Outcome indicators measure the changes or benefits resulting from the program, such as participants achieving employment after receiving services.
