Common misconception
Evaluating is about simply identifying whether something is good or bad.
The best evaluation will involve looking closely at something, thinking about its strengths and weaknesses, and explaining why it works well or not. It’s about making a thoughtful judgement based on evidence, not just a simple 'good' or 'bad' label.
