Higher levels of statistical analysis (e.g., t-test, factor analysis, regression, ANOVA)
can be conducted on the data, but these are not frequently used in most
program/project assessments.
• Read and organize the data from each question separately. This approach
permits focusing on one question at a time (e.g., experiences with tutoring
services, characteristics of tutor, student responsibility in the tutoring
process).
• Group the comments by themes, topics, or categories. This approach allows
for focusing on one area at a time (e.g., characteristics of tutor – level of
preparation, knowledge of content area, availability).

Observations

amount of time engaged/not engaged in activity, type of engagement,
communication, interpersonal skills).
The analysis of the data via statistical measures and/or narrative themes should
provide answers to the assessment questions. Interpreting the analyzed data from
the appropriate perspective allows for determination of the significance and
implications
