FACE Guidelines for Evaluation

Jeannie Baer, May 1996

Jeannie presented a short seminar, using a range of posters (which made us follow the material well) and asking us to contribute by answering questions. She told us about the FACE guidelines for making an evaluation.

F - the facts

what were the objectives, both formal and personal? You need to know in advance the title, the manual requirements, and wether the speaker had any special points which he/she wished you to check.

A - achievements

were the objectives reached? - If so, how? If not, why not? Be personal - "I felt that", "From my point of view" and be constructive.

C - content

was there a structure - introduction, body and conclusion? Was there a theme linking the points raised?

E - externals

how was the delivery? voice, body language

As an exercise, we filled out short evaluation forms after each of the prepared speeches.
