you believe describe Michael’s level of practice in that area, based on your observation notes

• Note that for this example, your evidence is based solely on the Observation (CO), however in “real life”, you might cite several sources of evidence • Refer to the bottom of the DOP for

abbreviations of various sources of evidence
