Abstract
This paper discusses theoretical concepts of the evaluation process pertaining to social work students in field placement and different methods of evaluation - one of the field instructor's "most worrisome" tasks. Objective and subjective factors that influence field instructors are cited as well as factors to consider when looking at professional potential. Pragmatic suggestions for planning and carrying out meaningul evaluations, given as aids to help social work students learn and grow, include ways to keep records, choose a supervisory role and conduct ongoing evaluations through supervisory conferences.
