To evaluate a training's effectiveness, you might give a pretest before the training even begins. This gives you a baseline. You could also give many different assessments during the training to ensure the trainees are progressing along. Of course, a posttest is almost always used to determine if the trainee mastered the training objective. For this discussion, I would like you to think of and share ways that you have been assessed before at work and/or school. Do think the strategy used was effective in determining whether the trainee/student (you) mastered the objective?
