Product Evaluation

In this assignment, you are going to find everyday things in your area by doing a keen observation of the
things around you. Start looking at things around you, your window, your doors, frames, the gadget you are
using, some appliances and furniture’s at your home. Try to evaluate the item by using them and examining
them. Find out its key features and how it works. Is it usable? Is it desirable or is it useful? Did you find it
desirable? This assignment will train your skills in conducting product evaluation. The questions above are
a starting point; you should think of additional questions you can ask yourself to gain deeper insight on
how you can evaluate the product.
