Last week I had to chance to speak on a panel with some other MAPS (and MASP) graduates and current students about our educations and how the Masters of Applied Psychological Science program at MUN prepared us for the kinds of challenges we see in our working worlds. It was great to reflect on my time in this program and what I've carried with me since, and to reflect on how much further evaluative thinking goes beyond what people often think of as strictly "evaluation." Measuring things that are hard to measure, so we can answer questions that are hard to answer - what could be more transferable than that? Thanks so much for having me, Canadian Evaluation Society - Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter!
