What is evaluation?
Evaluation is the process that allows us to find a solution to a problem
Evaluation is the process that allows us to break down a problem
Evaluation is the process that allows us to make sure our solution is correct
Why is it important to evaluate?
To ensure that a solution is as good as it can be
To prove that the solution has been tested
That it is inefficient
How may a solution be faulty?
It may be incomplete
It may not be decomposed
It may be incomplete and/or not decomposed
What is said when a problem isn't understood?
That it isn't fully decomposed
That it is incomplete
What is said when a solution doesn't fully solve the problem?
It isn't fully decomposed
It is incomplete
It is inefficient
What is said when a solution contains many unnecessary steps?
Which of the following is an example of an efficient solution?
Heating some soup, waiting until it is boiled then buttering some bread
Heating some soup and buttering bread whilst the soup is heating
Buttering bread then heating soup afterwards
Which of the following is also an example of an efficient solution?
Carrying a pile of books and placing them on a shelf all in one go
Carrying the books one at a time and placing them on a shelf
Moving a pile of books three at a time and placing them on a shelf
Working through an algorithm with pen and paper is known as what?
Testing
A dry run
Evaluation
What happens if an evaluation isn't done?
The solution may be incomplete
The solution may be too hard to understand
The solution may be too large
