We all have our inner evaluation demons. In my quest towards evaluation use, I encounter this little angel and demon on a near-daily basis:

What are you inner evaluation demons, and how do you battle them? Is it possible to strike a balance between your devil and angel, or have you been forced to choose one or the other at specific career crossroads?

Redesigning a Thesis Chapter

Farihah Malik had the opportunity to work with a public health agency, which she was really excited about. Until she had to present the research to a group of policy makers… Condensing two full chapters—73 pages of Farihah’s thesis—into a short report for the policy making group seemed like an impossible task.
