Step 1: Review the goals of your evaluation.

Your evaluation goals are:

• To assess whether the process used to select the mentors resulted in the selection of the most qualified individuals.
• To determine whether mentors and instructors have created successful partnerships.
• To assess whether the mentoring has improved the academic performance of the freshmen.
• To determine what project strategies were most responsible for the improvements that have been documented.

Step 2: Identify the groups from which you need to get information.

You need information from the mentors, instructors, and freshmen. For brevity, this example will discuss only the mentors.
