    Hi

    At some places I read that we shouldn’t explain/give the definition of the requested model and to focus on applying it to the scenario;

    But on other places I read that we should write 1 or 2 sentences about theory or definition and then apply it to the scenario.

    Even if it doesn’t give much points, do we have points or not for giving these 1 or 2 sentences?

    (I mean it, when they don’t specifically ask to explain it)

    Thanks

    IN general there are no points for describing/explaining models unless specifically asked to (very unusual). You might want to draw, for example a Mendelow’s Matrix so that you can use it more effectively and can justify conclusions that are drawn from it, but there is no need to describe in detail. Its use will become clear as you apply it.
