What is the purpose of orientation evaluation or feedback forms?

• A. To determine the budget for future sessions
• B. To gather feedback to improve future sessions and measure effectiveness
• C. To assign grades to OLs
• D. To schedule future events

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to use orientation feedback forms to gather input that helps improve future sessions and assess how well the program met its goals. When participants share what they found helpful, what was confusing, whether the activities kept them engaged, and if the materials were clear, organizers can make targeted changes to content, delivery methods, pacing, and support resources. This feedback also helps determine whether the learning objectives were achieved and the overall experience met participants’ needs, providing evidence of impact and guiding ongoing improvements.

Budget decisions, grading of participants, and scheduling are separate tasks. Budgeting comes from financial planning and resource allocation; grading isn’t typically part of an orientation and wouldn’t be the purpose of feedback forms; scheduling is a logistical action that may be influenced by feedback but isn’t the primary aim of gathering it.
