This panel focuses on discursive evaluation with two National Science Foundation ITEST funded programs of Carnegie Mellon University's computer science department.

In this presentation, we describe the strengths and challenges that accompany a discursive evaluation approach.#OrganizationalLearningandEvalCapacityBuilding #2011Conference
