The scope of study for the write-up can cover Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin only.

1.6     HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CASE STUDY (KWARA STATE POLYTECHNIC ILORIN)   

The Kwara State Polytechnic formally Kwara State College of Technology Ilorin was established by the Kwara State edict no 4 of 1972 signed by the then military governor, Col David L. Bamigboye subsequent edict no 21 of 1984 and 81 of 1987 which came into effect on 26th November 1987, redefined certain aspect of the original edict. But in essence, the polytechnic is to provide for studies, training research and development of techniques in arts, languages applied sciences, engineering, management and commercial education as well as in other spheres of learners.

The polytechnic was formally opened in January 1973 with the following student and staff strength.

Express only one idea with each factor, if two, thoughts are expressed, a person who is rated high on one hand, low on the other hand is difficult to appraise.

For example, punctuality and attendance often appear together. Does a low rating indicate the person is often late to work or often absent.

Used word the appraisal will understand be particularly careful to design the form for the supervisory group who will be working with it.

Have appraises evaluate what they observe not what is inferred.

This is particularly appropriate in evaluating such thing as knowledge without extensive testing, it can not be said how much knowledge a person has on a given subject.
