For my second artifact, I chose the group assignment from MDDE 617, Program Evaluation. This assignment was completed with a partner and involved doing a critical review of a fictitious evaluation report regarding a new online educational program. The program evaluation was provided by our instructor as a case study and was based on John Owen’s evaluation structure, which involves five categories, or Forms. The critical review was in the form of a paper that evaluated the case study based on which of Owen’s Forms it had used, descriptive elements of its developmental stage, and analysis of how well the Form was applied, and whether that application was sound given the program context. I chose this assignment for my portfolio because it was one of the areas in the program where my group work and communication skills were challenged and required some self-reflection and growth. My partner did not have a good grasp of the assignment and we didn't realize that until it was time to put our work together. In the end, the communication breakdown caused a lot more work for both of us. This issue could have been avoided by a more thorough collaboration process. It also made me consider the importance of clarity when creating instructional materials in my own practice.

Went through again with a finer tooth comb, I hope it reads a little smoother. Thank you!
