Hi Everyone,
Are'nt we happy that Module 2 is almost over. I am working on assignment 2, making up program goals from scratch ...kind of using 'critical thinking' for standard based evaluation ans searching for 'quality'
in the program for reponsive evaluation. Did you know tht "modus operandi" for responsive evaluation is observation? I wonder what does modus operandi stands for.
In nursing we use a lot of responsive evaluation along with standard based evaluation. I liked Stake's illustration of the responsive clock in Page 103.
I would have never known that evaluation is such a complex process and is more than students and courses or nurses and competencies. I am definitely enjoying this class in spite of it's complexities. It has changed my perspectives about evaluation. It is inspirational as well as fun.
Mercy.

I am testing my ability as a blogger. This is the second time I have tried to comment, but it just kicks me off. So, this is a test.

Ok, that one worked. What I originally wrote to you was about Modus Operandi. In criminal justice, it is the characterists and style of a crime/criminal. The investigator looks at the crime, and comes up with the method and style of the crime. You know it as the M.O. of the criminal. I think that it makes sense that responsive evaluation is mainly the observation of the characterists and style of the program being evaluated.
I said this much better in the post that was lost!!! Hope you understand!

Modus Operandi is latin and yes it is frequenty used in court cases. The translation is "method of operation".
