Illuminative evaluation, as defined by , Parlett and Hamilton, is not a standard methodological package but a general strategy. It aims to be both adaptable and eclectic. The choice'of res ctics follows not from research doetrine, but from decisions in each case as to the best availible techniques; the problem defines the methodsnot vice-versa., An illuminative evaluation technique was ushWto assess the strengths and-weaknesses, and to assist the planners in their understanding of the dynamics and the shapliof the First National Summer Institute in Women's Studies. Quantifiable information was obtained through a needs' assessment form, administered to participants (nm48) and staff (n1.13), through observations of the formal and informal sessons and staff meetings, and through open-ended questions on an evaluation.form.
