The knowledge test covers urban terminology related to megacities and Dharavi as a case study, it concentrates on Dharavi benefits and challenges. It is adaptable so you can use it for any case studies. It comes with a feedback PPT for peer assessment. Helps the less able to answer the short answer questions and the more able to include specific information in the level mark questions and develop their answers to the magical level 3. Have a look at another knowledge tests of mine.
