Analyse: This term has the widest range of meanings according to the subject.

Make a
justified selection of some of the essential features of an artefact, idea or issue. Examine
how these relate to each other and to other ideas, to help better understand the topic. See
ideas and problems in different ways and provide evidence for those ways of seeing
them.

Define: Present a precise meaning.

Describe: Say what something is like. Give its relevant qualities. Depending on the
nature of the task, descriptions may need to be brief or the may need to be very detailed.

Discuss: Provide details about and evidence for or against two or more different views
or ideas, often with reference to a statement in the title. Discussion often includes
explaining which views or ideas seem stronger.

Examine: Look closely at something. Think and write about the detail and question it
where appropriate.

Explain: Give enough description or information to make something clear or easy to


understand

Explore: Consider an idea or topic broadly, searching out related and/or particularly
relevant, interesting or debatable points.

Evaluate: Similar to “assess”, this often has more emphasis on an overall judgement of
something, explaining the extent to which it is, for example, effective, useful, or true.
Evaluation is therefore sometimes more subjective and contestable than some kinds of
pure assessment.
