WEEK SIX EVALUATION REPORT

Program Description
The purpose of this assessment was to determine if the instructors training needs at this
students organization, the US Army Medical Department Center and School (AMEDDC&S)
AMEDD Center and School. The assessment would consist of a survey that students would
complete at the end of the course. Department Chiefs or course administrators, senior instructors,
or anyone designated by the department chief would be able to complete the survey at any time
with or without notice. The stakeholders consist of the taxpayers, leadership, instructors, and
students.
The total budget required for the complete assessment totals out to 104,840.00 dollars
which allowed personnel involved allowed at least eight hours a week for six months which
equals to twenty-six weeks times eight hours which is 208 hours times 20 personnel involved.
This equals to 4160 total hours at an average of twenty-four dollars an hour equals to 99,840.00
dollars plus 5000 dollars for miscellaneous items such as office supplies.
The following is specific information being measured by the assessment: Instructor was
ready to present the lesson to include equipment to be used in the class. The survey will also ask
about the instructors level of expertise, technical, and confidence: if the instructors facilitation
skills were demonstrated, questioning techniques that caused critical thinking. Other important
data that will be gathered from this survey will consist of various questions on student
engagement/learning. Did the instructor lectured vs. facilitated, did the instructor teach to the
power point and engage students. Another measure would be the effectiveness, and the use of all
instructor tools and methods.
The level of motivation the instructor presented:

Established high expectations & challenged students.

Provided feedback during & after task.

Gave meaningful & quality feedback.

Obtained specific feedback to individual students.

The Final category would consist of asking if there were enough hands-on oriented,
actual, or simulated tools, and if the instruction or lessons could be applied to the students job.
Description of the Problem
The problem the needs assessment identified was that instructors required additional
training because instructors are only reading the slides i.e. Power Points and therefore creating a
situation know as death by PowerPoint. According to Rouse (2015), death by PowerPoint is a
phenomenon caused by the poor use of presentation software key contributors to death by
PowerPoint include confusing graphics, slides with too much text and presenters whose idea of a
good presentation is to read 40 slides out aloud (Internet Acronyms and Lingo).

The survey of the instructor will be handed out to the student but can also be used by
Department Chiefs or course administrators, senior instructors, or anyone designated by
the department chief. The survey can be conducted with or without notice. The
completion of the course objectives is a serious part of teaching, and learning is the
overall goal of the instruction. Some of the things this needs assessment will also provide
is if the student learned because at the end of the day that is whats important. In other
words if learning did not take place and the objectives were not met, then the instruction
is unsatisfactory, regardless of the instructors performance.

The survey in its totality will provide the results required in order to confirm instructors

require training. In other words, if an instructor is identified only by twenty surveys out of one
hundred as having issues the instructor will not attend training. Likewise if the instructor is
identified by forty-five surveys out of one hundred, then he or she will have to attend training.
