Critical Evaluation - Longitudinal Study

[hutchy22]

I am a bit overwhelmed by this! Did anyone feel like they didn`t have enough information? My teacher said to try and write 1/2 a page with factual statements. I`ve only written my introduction which is not 1/2 a page and hope it`s enough.

Does anyone know where I could read an example of a Critical Evaluation for the Longitudinal Study to get an idea of where I am headed.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I'm also stuck with critical evaluation. I don't know how to start.

It`s overwhelming, right? I just e-mailed my tutor with my first question to see if i am on the right track and she reassured me..

For the introduction, I really just introduced the study. How long it went on for, what area of development, how old the child was, what kinds of observations did i use, what was the goal i was trying to reach, how did i feel by doing this (I wrote that i got to know the child better and her interests etc) at the end in ended up being just shy of 1/2 a page.

To quote my teacher `Make your answers are as specific as possible, referring to specific activities and assessments and observations. Be careful that your evaluation is not just generic, but is very definitely and identifiably about THIS child and THIS set of observations.
Have confidence!`

Hope you can make a good start and then it will just flow. I`m hoping that for the rest of the questions!

Good luck
