ABSTRACT
An individual was asked to brainstorm ideas for the use of aluminium foil. These were first written down on a sheet of paper. Ideas were then examined for those that looked interesting (highlighting) and the remainder were discarded. The remaining ideas were then grouped according to different hotspots or themes. An idea could be appended to more than one hotspot or theme (indicated by the entries in brackets). 1 Cooking 1.1 covering roast chicken 1.2 wrapping baked potato 1.3 covering food for storage 1.4 milk bottle tops 1.5 wrapping food for storage w/o fridge 1.6 keeping food warm 1.7 lining a grill pan
INTRODUCTION
Methods of evaluation range from simple checklists to complex weighted scoring systems. First, however, we look at sorting methods and then we go on to look at evaluation methods. Many of the ideation methods we have examined in the previous chapters produce a large quantity of ideas. Before we can evaluate these ideas we need to sort them into categories or themes. This facilitates the process of making comparisons and evaluations.
