Making an evidence-conscious recommendation
B2.1 · Compare sources, qualify a conclusion and justify a trial.
Secure B1: explain reasons, link paragraphs, formulate conditions and distinguish proposals from commitments.
Model
Unsere Gruppe überlegt, ob sie ihre Bücherliste nur digital anbieten sollte. Der letzte Newsletter wurde 80-mal geöffnet. Von der gedruckten Liste wurden 25 Exemplare mitgenommen. Diese Zahlen messen jedoch nicht dasselbe: Eine Person kann den Newsletter mehrfach öffnen, während ein Exemplar von mehreren Personen gelesen werden kann.
Die digitale Liste lässt sich leichter aktualisieren. Die gedruckte Version ist dagegen direkt im Treffpunkt sichtbar und kann ohne eigenes Gerät gelesen werden. In zwei Rückmeldungen wurde gerade dieser Zugang als Vorteil genannt. Das beweist nicht, dass alle Besucher Papier bevorzugen, macht aber ein konkretes Bedürfnis sichtbar.
Ich empfehle daher, beide Formen für zwei weitere Treffen anzubieten. Die digitale Liste könnte die ausführlichen Hinweise enthalten; auf Papier könnten wir eine kurze Auswahl bereitstellen. Danach sollten wir fragen, welche Form tatsächlich genutzt wurde und ob jemand Schwierigkeiten beim Zugang hatte. So entscheiden wir nicht allein nach Öffnungen und mitgenommenen Blättern.
Diese Zahlen messen jedoch nicht dasselbe:
· Explains why two counts are not directly comparable.macht aber ein konkretes Bedürfnis sichtbar.
· Retains the usefulness of limited evidence.ob jemand Schwierigkeiten beim Zugang hatte.
· Connects evaluation to the access objective.
Task
Fictional case. Write a German recommendation for the association trialling a study space. Its goal is to support concentration; it can spend up to 40 euros per week.
Record A: a quiet room with 20 seats had 16 attendees on one Tuesday evening. Hire costs 40 euros per week. Record B: a room allowing conversation, also with 20 seats, had 10 attendees on one Thursday afternoon. It costs 20 euros per week. These were different groups, with only one recorded session per room. Neither learning outcomes nor concentration were measured.
A participant comments: “I prefer being able to talk to someone when I do not understand a task.” The association’s draft states: “A improves learning because it had more attendees.”
Compare the evidence, assess the draft and recommend a concrete trial. Address the participant’s need and explain what information you would gather before keeping or changing the plan. No percentages are required.

Planning
- Distinguish observations from what the draft claims to prove.
- Choose a priority and address an interest that might be underserved.
- Define duration, cost and evaluation of the trial; do not invent an outcome.
Criteria
- Compare records while retaining group and timing differences; distinguish attendance from learning.
Mark “achieved” when the evidence is present and consistent; “partial” when incomplete; “revise” when absent or contrary to the case. Justify the judgement with a quotation from your draft.
- Justify a trial consistent with goal and budget without guaranteeing success.
Mark “achieved” when the evidence is present and consistent; “partial” when incomplete; “revise” when absent or contrary to the case. Justify the judgement with a quotation from your draft.
- Respond to the comment and propose relevant information for reviewing the decision.

- Distinguish attribution, evaluation and proposal in a clear argument; qualifications retain the facts.

Review
Keep your first draft. Quote a passage for each criterion and use the three rubric categories. Rewrite a passage to improve meaning or language and explain the effect. If it already meets the criteria, document a specific check. The guide provides examples; it neither matches words nor calculates a grade.
