Life cycle assessment is not in the study design, but seriously even if this was on the exam it would be worth 1-2 marks at most.
I agree it's an issue but it is not life or death, if the kids have heard life cycle anything they are ahead of many students.
Planned obsolescence is a legitimate definition yet we accept that students must use functional, style or technical obsolescence.

Life cycle assessment is not in the study design. It is called life cycle analysis in the study design. Maryann Augustinus UHS

Idea for Unit 1 - Redesign a Refugee Shelter

Good example of humanitarian design ?The students wanted to raise awareness of the refugee issue and show how we can use design for good rather than just for profit,?

To clarify this question both Life cycle analysis and life cycle assessment
are in the study design therefore both are accepted when exams are marked.

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.
