I agree, C is a big issue. Change is messy, not linear.

I think E is also a strong criticism, as it overlooks the power dynamics involved in change, which we talked about in class.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like D is a valid point because the model doesn’t really provide clear steps for practical application.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think B could be a criticism too, since it seems like the model makes things more complicated than they need to be.

I remember discussing how the Phase model oversimplifies change, so I think A and C might be right.
