Dana Linnell — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 06:00:00 -0500

> “If you are someone who is interested in bringing change, or making the world a better place, or if you would like the results of your work to get used, evaluation is something that you might be interested in.”

This episode is a bit different. I asked three of my students to reflect on their experiences in the MS in Applied Psychology program at University of Wisconsin-Stout, as well as their experiences in the two evaluation courses. Emma, Omar, and Jade share their thoughts and reflections.
