<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Finally: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Students find evaluation the most difficult skill to master. Here are some tips on how to master this important skill: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Evaluation occurs when a judgment is made. It is the weighing or measuring of factors followed by an attempt to give relative weight to those factors. Questions that begin "evaluate", "assess", "critically assess", "discuss" or "to what extent" require students to show their skills of evaluation in order to reach the highest achievement levels. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">There are many ways that students can be encouraged to improve their skills of evaluation. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">

 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">When factors such as causes, consequences or remedies are asked for, students should attempt to identify the most important ones and then to justify the reason for the choice.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">When advantages and disadvantages are asked for, students should attempt to identify the most important advantage (or disadvantage) and then justify the reason for the choice.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">When strategies are asked for, students should attempt to assess the short term and long term implications.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">When data is offered, students may question its validity, in terms of whether it is appropriate, whether it is reliable, or whether it is still relevant.

In each of this new series of videos, Tutor2U takes a single topic question and explores how the chain of reasoning could be developed.
