****Feedback on assignmemnt 3***Thank you for your work on this assignment. I think you are off to a great start, with a few adjustments to be made. I really liked that the theory selected can be applied to human behavior of those in the case study. Be sure to identify the current stage of development and discussed the challenges and conflicts of the characters at that stated. I made some recommendations on how some criterion might achieve a higher performance score. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Applying a particular theoretical approach to a case is always part of a larger context—in a general sense, who are the clients you are serving? What are the characteristics of the environment in which you work? Given that, what theoretical framework will work best? Do you need flexibility, or a laser-sharp focus? In this assignment, you will have an opportunity to answer those questions. Do careful research, and support your conclusions with relevant evidence.
