when doing an evaluation, one can become far too fixated on outpoints and miss the real reason one is doing an evaluation in the first place. To handle this, it is proper form to write up an evaluation so as to keep in view the reason one is doing one. This is accomplished by using this form: SITUATION: _________ DATA: _________ STATS: _________ WHY: _________ IDEAL SCENE: _________ HANDLING: _________ The whole of it should concern itself with the same general scene, the same subject matter. This is known as consistency. One does not have a situation about books, data about bicycles, stats of another person, a why about another area, a different subject for ideal scene and handling for another activity. The situation, whether good or bad, must be about a certain subject, person or area, the data must be about the same, the stats are of that same thing, the why relates to that same thing, the ideal scene is about the scene of that same thing and the handling handles that thing and especially is regulated by that why. A proper evaluation is all of a piece. (HCO PL 17 Feb 72)
