A practical way to use this

Set a realistic task, make the evaluation criteria visible and review the reasoning as well as the result. Avoid using an unfamiliar tool or unexplained setup as a hidden test of ability.

Review points

  • State the task and visible criteria.
  • Provide a safe, consistent setup.
  • Review the reasoning and result.
  • Turn gaps into practice actions.
