“My client just loves this evaluation business. She is the kind of person who makes lists and is wellorganized, and when I asked her to keep track of several targets, she constructed checklists and completed them exactly as we discussed. Now I have tons of data and I don’t know what to do with them all. And the client wants to do more tracking of targets!” Response to Case 10 Sometimes clients are very helpful in evaluation because they find the activity itself useful to them. However, we find ourselves without a great deal of sympathy—and maybe even some envy—for your plight of having “tons of data.” Assuming that you have three, four, five, or more targets, this still amounts mainly to putting five dots in appropriate places on graph paper for each time unit, and then keeping up-to-date about the analysis. If this gives you an accurate picture of changes in the client’s condition, then that is a very small price to pay in terms of time and effort. So enjoy!
