Who Needs It?

by: Page Keeley, Cary Sneider, and Mihir Ravel

The purpose of this assessment probe is to elicit students’ ideas about who needs to be consulted when solving a problem (the client). The probe is designed to reveal the extent to which students recognize that the needs of a number of individuals (in this case an animal as well) have to be understood when defining a problem.
