I have to write an evaluation paper and it says to make a case for the criteria that you want to use to make an evaluation of that subject and I am not exactly sure what a criteria is. It also say how many criteria are you using to form your evaluation/

Criteria (the plural form -- by the way, the singular is criterion) are the points you are using to make an evaluation. For instance, if you were going to evaluate a new car, you might want to evaluate how it rides, visibility, the sound system, the cupholders, the gas mileage, the windshield wipers, etc. Those would be the evaluation criteria. (There is no such word as "criterias.")

So what do you have to evaluate?

Are you still there, amccullough15?

Interesting user name you have, by the way. I wonder how it's pronounced?

Thanks!
