Evaluation is done by the users/clients<BR>

In a very small enterprise these might be the same<BR>
<BR>
I always talk about the reporting programs we use so that students understand the scope and size.<BR>
Most students are happy to believe that their teacher did not write the reporting program<BR>

<BR>
While marking U4O2, I am increasingly worried about kids' confusion of testing and evaluation. When asked for evaluation methods, many are basically doing testing again. It can be hard to get them to understand the difference between the two operations. <BR>
<BR>
I've made a handout that tries to distinguish between them (attached) but if anyone has a never-fail ripsnorter technique of getting it into kids' heads, I'd love to hear it.<BR>
