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. (HCO PL 19 Sept 73 IR)

3. by complete evaluation we of course mean, situation spotted, analyzed, why, recommended handling, and the agreed upon step. (7201CO2 SO)

4. evaluating tests for public individuals. (HCO PL 15 Feb 61)

5. telling the pc what to think about his case. (HCOB 4 Aug 60)

6. evaluation for a person could be defined as the action of shaking his stable data without giving him further stable data with which he can agree or in which he can believe. (PAB 93)

7. the reactive mind's conception of viewpoint. (COHA, p. 208)

8. the shifting of viewpoints or the effort to do so. (PAB 8)
