Distribute the handout. Explain the acronym and what each of the criteria represents.
Pupils should ask the user for their evaluation of the product against each of the seven criteria. The user should be asked to give each of the criteria a score on a four-point scale (3, 2, 1, 0) and, more importantly, to add a comment about the success or failure of the product. Users should also be asked to make an overall comment about the product. Their individual scores for the seven criteria will be added to provide a total.
If more than one user is being interviewed, their comparative scores and comments could be analysed.
