Evaluating strengths and weaknesses

[TAP94]

When asked to evaluate, for example, two weaknesses of courts as law makers...do I offer my opinion at the end? Like, I understand that I present one weakness and the corresponding strength, and another weakness and corresponding strength but how do I incorporate the evaluation bit of the question? Do I say something like "As such, the strength of (dah dah dah) poses more desirable aspects than compared to the drawbacks as evident in the weakness and so ultimately the strengths outweighs the weaknesses for courts as law makers? Or do I just say nothing, and instead present two weaknesses and strengths?
Thanks again guys

If the question says "Critically evaluate" then you don't need to be like... "Strength. However, weakness. However the strength outweighs the weakness" => Just present both the strength and weakness. If it says
"To what extent" or "In your opinion" (not sure if they do the latter) or "Would it be wise to..." etc etc, then at the end of all of your evaluations, eg, 5 strengths, 5 weaknesses, you'd give a nice line at the end that said something like "Ultimately, despite the drawbacks of the adversary system of trial it is still a greater method of achieving justice than the inquisitorial system.
Ya feel me bro?

Hey guys, I was wondering if you knew any starting words to introduce a strength or weakness

Hey guys, I was wondering if you knew any starting words to introduce a strength or weakness

Tbh in my SACs and exams I would just write
One strength of the jury is that it provides a trial by peers. -blablabla-. However, this enables a jury that is inexperienced -blablabla-
Another strength of the jury system...

Not sure if you were looking for anything a bit more 'flash' but your marks will come from the quality of your discussion of each strength and weakness, so I don't see a problem with starting it like that.

i know it doesn't but I just find myself repeating the words so I just need a few so it doesn't become repetitive

[brenden]

Okay then. Well, whilst I prefer being very direct for the examiner you could start off your str/wkn (god I'm getting tired of writing those words) by working it into the start of your sentence.
Eg. Instead of
"One strength of the jury system is trial by peers..."
you could say
"The fact that Australia's jury system enables a trial by peers means that XYZDISCUSSION"
So long as they know that you're presenting it as a strength with the rest of your discussion then you could start it off like that.

Signposting as brenden pointed out, works (i.e. One strength, A second strength etc.). It may be repetitive, but it makes it easier for the exam marker(s) to clearly see when you're starting a new point/paragraph - especially in the bigger-mark questions. Structure is important.

When I'm writing responses to 10 mark questions, whilst I try to not be too structured and repetitive, I also realise it is not english/literature. Sometimes that kind of rigid structure helps... One strength... however... One weakness... on the contrary.
