Discussing Evaluation Part 1&2 - Process monitoring, process evaluation

TOPIC: Discussing Evaluation

PART -1

Process monitoring, process evaluation, quality improvement, formative evaluation, and outcome/effect evaluation are often difficult topics to understand. Moreover, each approach/strategy is only useful when it is applied correctly.

For this ASSIGMENT, construct a concise summary in which you explain to a community of stakeholders the difference between each topic listed above. (That is, what is the unique aspect of each topic/approach/strategy?) Then, associate the topics by expounding upon their similarities. Try to draw similarities between at least three of the topics.
