The purpose of this tutorial is to provide assistance to colleagues teaching measurement and evaluation courses, many of whom are not measurement specialists. This can be a daunting course for both students and teachers. This tutorial provides several ways to quickly establish course relevance, examples of how to engage students in actual measurement and evaluation experiences, and how to develop a common dataset used throughout a semester to assist in generalized learning and utilization. The emphasis will be on practical approaches for non-specialists with numerous practical examples from which to choose.
