  1. In week 6 we talked a little about evaluation of training. One of the gurus in evaluation of training and development is Don Kirkpatrick. He actually came up with the four levels of evaluation when he was doing his research for his doctoral dissertation. His website is Kirkpatrickpartners.com where you can learn about his model in depth, search for many resources, and even sign up for a newsletter free. For any training professional I would suggest you check it out.

Your assignment is to go to the website and comment on it.  Enjoy

  1. Take any “training” you have been through at work. (NOTE: If you have not attended any training in your career then you can choose an academic class) Describe the strengths and weaknesses of the training methods used in that “Training.” Be sure to explain your comments
