Response to the question

The first two parts of the answer are strong and answer the questions asked. As simple fact finding questions, a simple explanation of findings is all that is required.

The last question regarding HCI in specialist needs situations could have been developed much further and it is this question that lets the work down.

Level of analysis

The first two sections are basic fact finding questions without the need for further development or in-depth original thinking.

The final question requires greater analysis. Instead of giving an assessment of needs for both the user and the interface, the student has simply included a sentence to solve the problem. An analysis would have given the student stronger answers and would have provided the opportunity to really show an understanding of the needs of children and visually impaired users.

Quality of writing

The quality of writing is okay but there are some basic mistakes in style, grammar and punctuation. There are also words missing from some sentences. The student would be advised to proofread their work to avoid these simple mistakes.
