The words to use
- Group task
- A station where several applicants discuss or solve a problem together while assessors watch. Each person is marked individually.
- Process move
- A contribution about how the group works, such as agreeing criteria, keeping time or summarising, rather than about the problem itself.
- Criteria first
- Agreeing what a good answer must achieve before debating ideas, so disagreements become about the criteria, not about people.
- Synthesiser
- The person who summarises accurately, credits others by name and hands the group back a usable position. Rarely contested, and easy for assessors to credit.
