ever heard the term "critically assess"?

hi guys

ye all seem to know yer software in here,so maybe someone can answer this.In an exam question what does "critically assess" mean.The Q was something along the lines of "critically assess use case diagrams..." and some other UML stuff.
Just wondering out of curiosity really,ive never come across that phase before
is is just a fancy term for "explain"

Critically Assess = analyze intently, paying close attention to detail.

What are "Use Cases"
Quote:
Fundamentally, they provide a way of depicting and structuring the interaction of a real world Actor (person, organisation or external system) with the application being studied. The Actors are users of the system, and they have goals, or what could be viewed as "things that must be done". For a retail system the goals or use cases concern the "ordering of goods", "delivery of goods" and "payment for goods". The scenarios can be divided into the success scenarios, when all goes according to plan, and the extensions deal with use cases where there is a problem. The company may be out of stock, or the customer may wish to return the goods, or the payment method may be different. Sometimes it is important to distinguish between system interactions and actual user goals, and deal with goals first

Do you have a long white beard, where brown robes, live in the woods, have a soft yet stern voice, cure your own illnesses with medecines you've acquired in the wilds and hear whispers when you go resupply your food that sound a bit like "Honey, stay away from here, some say he eats children!!!"

If so, I'd say you have a Gandalf-esk kind of presense on these boards ;-)

My wife on the other hand says, if house work were books, I'd be the best husband in the world!
