Employee Trainning

1. Look at Kirkpatrick’s four levels of evaluation and justify why you would use all these levels even though your boss was interested only in the last one (results).

Note: explain why each level of evaluation is important, in detail, for each level.

2. In your assignments, you are asked to create an evaluation tool to assess your training plan. Surveys are the most common form of assessment, but there are other choices. Name one evaluation tool other than a survey and identify how it could be used in your training plan. Explain why this tool would be an effective way to assess your training objectives.

3. Companies are looking to cut costs. Unfortunately, some of the first cuts are felt in the training department. If you were a manager of a training division, how would you sell training as an important entity to your company?

4. Since we are at the end of this class, this is the perfect time to reflect upon the achievement of Course Outcomes. Please review the syllabus for the list of course outcomes. Considering the activities, assignments, etc., what course outcome has been most useful? What is one of the most surprising and/or valuable thing(s) you learned from this course that you did not know before or that you did not know you would study? How will it help you in the future? What would you recommend as an activity/assignment (or an improvement to an existing assignment)?
