¶ … evaluators when it comes to reviewing specific projects related to social work? This paper reviews and summarizes the specific strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes when it comes to evaluators' appraisal of projects and programs related to social work.
Evaluating social work issues and programs carries with it enormous responsibilities. The Task Force from the American Evaluation Association (AEA) -- in 1986 -- set out to present and adopt a well-thought-out set of standards for the accurate and honest evaluation of social work programs. The problem was that not one of the recommendations by the AEA was adopted, and there were no ethical standards or guiding principles adopted either. Hence, in 1992, the AEA Board established another committee (chaired by David Cordray) whose duty it was to develop "a draft of guiding principles for evaluation" (not specific standards of practice) (Scheirer, et al.).

However, as Murphy (2008) notes, these original scores, and the weightings, are given by biased humans who may have another agenda than simply giving the most accurate appraisal possible. In addition, there is also the question about whether a truly accurate (when negative) appraisal is the best course of action due to the possible negative consequences. Management by Objectives (MBO) Sudarsan (2009) surmises that, in the past, researchers have concluded that

On the other hand, there is often an assumption on the part of the users that evaluations are "an ivory tower process…too late to be useful, too full of jargon to be understood, too lengthy [to read]…, and too likely to be answering a question quite different from the policy question originally posed" (Ibid).
