Evaluation and Observation

Content Quality

Rating:

Strengths:	The module is simple to use and fairly self-explanatory.
Concerns:	The module provides an assessment report that suggests tips as to how an individual can reduce stress. I would be cautious of the suggestions since stress can be a very difficult situation to diagnose and differs for each individual. In most cases, stress needs to be assessed by a qualified professional.

Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool

Rating:

Strengths:	The module could be used as a supplement to help identify some potential activities that an individual might consider are the cause of a stressful life-style or work environment.
Concerns:	The module does not provide supporting information or from where the concept is derived.

Concerns:
