[Design and Technology] examination hint for the day

[Treverton, Melissa J]

I agree,  although I use "analysis' in my teaching, some resources use "assessment".

Either term is accurate in industry, as Stuart mentioned, and I think we are just arguing semantics.

I would hope the question would ask them to explain or describe the sustainability model, rather than identify it anyway.  Aren't we assessing the depth of their understanding and application of the concept of sustainability, rather than their ability to recall rote learn 't facts?

I'm not sure why we don't give a mark for either. I understand that is in the study design but see the link above.

Or google 'life cycle analyses' and see what comes up.

Just a reminder that LCA is life cycle analysis not assessment. If students write 'assessment' in the exam they will get a 0.
