1. the
purpose of an evaluation is to isolate and
handle the
cause of a non-
optimum situation so as to reverse and improve it toward an
ideal scene. An evaluation is also done to isolate the
cause of a
scene which is going well and to reinforce it.
(BPL 16 Dec 73) 2. 1 found that getting the
situation was a common
bug. Evidently people
don't do a real
stat analysis and get an
ideal scene,
look for its furthest departure and get the
situation and then
look for
data and find the why. There are many
ways to go about it but the above is easy, simple and foolproof. It would
look like this on a worksheet:
gross divisional statistic analysis to find the
area and a conditional guess.
Ideal scene for that
area. Biggest depart from it for the
situation.
Stats,
data, out-
point counts, why,
ethics why, who,
ideal scene,
handling, bright idea. If you're very good your gross divisional
stat analysis will get confirmed by
data. The real why opens the door to
handling. And you can
handle. This doesn't
change eval form. It's just a working
model. All good evals are very
consistent-all on same railroad
track. Not pies,
sea lions,
space ships. But pies, apples, flour, sugar, stoves.

complete evaluation we of
course mean,
situation spotted, analyzed, why, recommended
handling, and the agreed upon
step.
