Assessment
• Your journey to the answer is much more
important than the answer itself
• There is no right answer – don’t waste your
and everyone else’s time trying to find one
• Staff have been briefed to ask ‘why?’
• Use the tools and techniques you have been
taught to give you the evidence you need to
make and support your decisions
Groups
• Engineers work in groups/teams
• Groups of mixed ability, nationality and discipline

• All students will need to explore and develop


different ways of working in order to be
successful

• Groupworking session to follow
