You are working with a partner to evaluate the impact of a tutoring program for first-year university students to help improve their grades and retention. You have pitched a mixed-methods evaluation using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and student interviews to assess outcomes after one year. The partner will use the evidence from the evaluation to decide whether to continue the tutoring program and scale it to other universities. When presenting to a wider group of stakeholders: One person asks why we can’t just do a before-after Another asks whether it's worth the effort to do student interviews What would you say to them? Please write a brief paragraph (e.g., 3-5 sentences) answering each person. (250 words)
