Guidance
This diary contains three tools to evaluate your Centres pilot project, focussing on students.
All of them should be carried out as a group activity through discussion with students, rather
than as an individual exercise. Please record the majority view or a range of views where
requested.
Section 1: Baseline Questionnaire
This should be carried out at the start of the project to assess students' knowledge and
understanding of entrepreneurship.
Section 2: Diary
The Diary sheets should be photocopied and used in every session of your project.
Section 3: End Point Questionnaire
This should be carried out at the end of the project to contrast with students' initial
knowledge and understanding.
Additional questionnaires
To ensure that our evaluation is comprehensive, please also complete the Baseline and End
Point questionnaires for teachers, and practitioners/mentors.
