5.3. Doing the evaluation
The purpose of this third aim is to develop your evaluation skills and gain confidence in a safe environment, but now using a topic that is important to you. Ideally, you will pick up on the key group priority you have been working on in units three and four. It’s like a rehearsal: devise a plan, practise methods and refine your skills before using them more widely. It builds on your knowledge from the first two aims of this unit about what is evaluation, why it is important and how to best go about it.
