There is no generic approach to the final evaluations.
It's really important to read the criteria in each brief to ensure you know what is required for that specific brief. No two briefs have the same requirements and this in the main thing you need to understand and be aware of as you go forwards with your assignments.
They're important
There's a tendency for student to produce excellent practical work and then let themselves down with the evaluation - leaving it till the last minute. You should always try and complete the practical work including printing out your final images for your portfolio a day before the deadline, leaving at least a day to work on the final evaluation.
Keep in mind that grade-wise, the evaluation is worth up to a 3rd of the grade and if you produce distinction level research and practical work and pass level evaluation - the work is graded based on the lowest scoring part of the work e.g. a pass overall because the evaluation was weak.
Follow the guidance you're given, work hard on it and take it as seriously as you have the rest of your work. There's no word count or page count - but you have to respond to the evaluation criteria.
Top Tip Use the wording in the criteria in your evaluation. If the criteria wording suits it, use the wording as the headings for your response. That's normally a really effective way of working in a concise and to the point way.

The final evaluation for real._______________________________________________________
Start the evaluation with explanation of what you've learned and gained from this unit, primarily discussing it in terms of what you've learned with regards the Creative process. Then apply the stage below...
If you look through the criteria you'll see that in the Merit criteria a number of phrases/sentences that include the words analyse and evaluate. These phrases/sentences are copied in a modified form below to use as the headings for your evaluation.
(1). How the stages and activities in the creative process were used to develop and refine ideas to realise creative intentions.
(2). How the stages can interrelate to develop and refine ideas and develop skills and own working practice.
(3). How the stages and activities within the creative process helped develop ideas and produce outcomes
(4). To what extent do the stages and activities within the creative process help improve future art and design practice.
Write your responses to these prompts underneath each one. With each prompt ask the question what if and discuss the outcome if you hadn't applied the creative process or some of the components (Stages) of it. How would that have affected the work?
Finally make an overall judgement on the use of the creative process or any of the components of it, has it added value to what you do, do you think that you're work process will be more efficient in the future and do you think it will make a difference to your grades - how, why?
