This is a subject that provides you with heaps of transferable knowledge. However, some find it a bit basic as topics covered are focused on fundamentals of evaluation. What's great with the subject is that the minor assignments build on the final assignment which makes it easier to do towards the end of the subject.

I enjoy this subject. Lucio is very passionate about health program evaluation, which is a characteristic I always wish to see in a lecturer. Moreover, students will benefit greatly from his real life experience sharing. Highly recommend this subject and thank you Lucio for an amazing learning experience.

Useful content and a good background to have when doing research. I liked that I had already completely qualitative research subjects so understood their value and necessity when conducting evaluations. While I appreciate Lucio is incredibly passionate about evaluation, I didn’t love him as a lecturer. A few issues with the assignments, tutors completely contradicting what was said in the lecture and needing to get sections remarked

The subject itself is primarily theory-focused, so sometimes it can feel disconnected from reality. But you leave the class with a new way of thinking and viewing programs/policies/interventions that I think is really helpful for any subject/stream within the MPH (and generally in public health). Lucio really cares about his students, and while it might be hard to feel that in such a big lecture, he is always happy for you to come and chat with him.


Some students have commented that the lectures are repetitive. However, I'm of the opinion that the repetition helps drill the concepts into your head, really creating a strong foundation and understanding, so its actually value-adding.


In summary: the subject is well-run, the key…

Lucio is a fantastic lecturer who will give you the principles of health program evaluation in this subject. The minor assignments set you up for the major assignment which is quite transferrable to real world settings. Overall, health program evaluation is well run subject and a useful skill to have if you're looking to work in public health. 7/10 😊
