Evaluation

What is evaluation?

Evaluation is about using monitoring and other information you collect to make judgements about your project. It is also about using the information to make changes and improvements.
Evaluation aims to answer agreed questions and to make a judgement against specific criteria. Like other research, for a good evaluation, data must be collected and analysed systematically, and its interpretation considered carefully. Assessing 'value' - or the worth of something - and then taking action makes evaluation distinctive. The results of an evaluation are intended to be used.
There are many different perspectives and approaches to evaluation. Answering questions such as 'Why are we doing it?' 'Who is the evaluation for?' and 'What are the key issues to address?' will help you decide whether you wish to self-evaluate or to have an external evaluation. The questions will help you to think about what you want to focus on. For example, this could be:

• your organisational structure and how it works
• how you carry out your services or activities
• how users experience the project
• what changes or benefits the project brings about

Information Literacy

What is Information Literacy?

Information literacy skills are skills you will need through your life. We are always seeking information. What car or stereo should I buy? Which college should I choose? Which book should I read next? How can I sell this idea to my boss? How can I convince the school board to act on my proposal? Information helps us reach conclusions, make our choices, and communicate more effectively. But the good stuff is often buried in heaps of junk. We need to continue to improve our searching, evaluating and communication skills in a changing information environment.

1. Defining your problem and asking the good questions.

• What is my thesis or problem?
• What information do I need?
• What do I already know?
• What more do I need to find out?

2. Information seeking strategies?

• Where can I find the information I need? Which are the best possible sources? Which databases are the best choices?
• Which types of sources will best help me solve my information problem? Which sources do I already have?
• Do I need help to find the resources or to make sure I haven't overlooked any critical sources?

3. Selecting and evaluating your resources

• How can I search these sources effectively?
• Do the resources I found really answer my questions or offer evidence to support my thesis?
• Have I examined my sources for currency, relevance, accuracy, credibility, appropriateness and and bias?
• How will I credit my sources?

4. Organizing and restructuring information

• How much of the information I collected is truly relevant?
• Can I construct a visual tool or written Have I solved my information problem and answered the related questions?
• outline to help me structure my work?
• Do I have enough information?

5. Communicating the results of your research

• Who is my audience?
• How can I most effectively share this information with this audience?
• What do I need to do this presentation? Equipment? Software?
• Have I included everything I want to share?
• Have I proofread, edited and truly finished my project?

6. Evaluating your work

The product:

• Am I proud of the product? Was it effective?
• Did I meet the guidelines or follow the rubric for the project?
• Am I sure I did not plagiarize from any of my sources?
• Is the best work I could have done?

The process:

• Did I explore the full scope of available resources and select the best?
• Did I approach the research process energetically?
• Did I search electronic resources (the Web and licensed databases) using effective, efficient, strategic search strategies?

Vine

A vine is any plant of genus Vitis (the grape plants) or, by extension, any similar climbing or trailing plant. The word, derived from Latin vīnea, referred to the grape-bearing variety. The modern extended sense is restricted to North American English, which uses grapevine to refer to the grape-bearing Vitis species. (British English tends to use climber to refer to the broader category, including, for example, ivy.)
This article uses the term vine in its broader, North American sense.

• Some types of vines

video game

A video game is a game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device. However, with the popular use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms are broad in range, from large computers to small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use.

Filth and Wisdom

Madonna's directorial debut, "Filth and Wisdom," is a hilariously sexy tale of three roommates who must delve into mischievous and naughty behavior in pursuit of bigger and brighter futures. A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of 'trans-continental superstardom' with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally whips the privileged of London into shape, he also secretly pines for the object of his affection, Holly (Holly Weston), an aspiring ballerina looking for her big break while moonlighting as a slippery stripper. Meanwhile, Juliette (Vicky Mclure) steals medicine from her pharmaceutical job in hopes of quenching her dreams of helping Africa's youth. "Filth and Wisdom" is every bit as erotic and playful as it is poignant and touching, revealing the universal struggles we all face in our pursuits of happiness.

pencil

A pencil is a writing or drawing instrument consisting of a thin stick of pigment (usually graphite, but can also be coloured pigment or charcoal) and clay, usually encased in a thin wood cylinder, though paper and plastic sheaths are also used. Pencils are distinct from pens, which use a liquid marking material.
