Understand the term "evaluate" in an exam question

Ttopoftherock11y ago
Hi Gromit, I've been doing some questions that contain the word "evaluate"-my understanding of this is where you give the pros and cons of whatever the question is asking you, and then formulate an opinion at the end on whether you agree with the pros or the cons. Is this correct? However, in some questions, I cannot find any negatives , even though it asks to evaluate. Is this normal? How would you go about answering such questions? Many thanks

Sorry to have missed this question for so long. IN an 'evaluate' question I would normally expect some negativesright in thinking pros and cons and their significance. It would unfortunately be odd in this world to have a situation/choice where there were no negatives, so I would always look for both + and -.
