Hosts: Follow-Up

Once the project is done, there are a few things that may need to be taken care of.

Student Evaluation

As a follow-up to placements, host organizations may be asked by supervising professors to assist in the evaluation of the project and the assignment of a mark. Even if this is not the case, some communication with the professor regarding the quality of the resulting work is essential to guide their participation in future community-based projects.

Program Evaluation

The most important question at the end of the project is whether or not the stated objectives were met. This will often be judged by the resulting report or end product. Feedback in this regard is essential for us to continue to develop and improve our program. We will often ask for the completion of a formal evaluation form.

U-Links Resource Centre

A copy of any report or resulting document should be provided to U-Links. A library of completed reports is archived at U-Links and this information is accessible to the community at large. Often, work done for an individual organization can contribute to other projects or make up a portion of a larger body of work. It is in these connections and the availability of the information that the greater good of the community may be served. However, the release of research findings may be delayed in situations when public knowledge of information would affect the success of a project.
