Discuss:
- Brief outline of idea/technology etc...
- Advantages (For)
- Disadvantages (Against)
- Brief Summary

Assess:
- Brief outline of idea/technology etc...
- Advantages
- Disadvantages
- Judgement
- Brief Summary

Words like "Assess" and "Evaluate" means you need to give a "value judgment" i.e., Yes it is good because.... or it is bad because...

If you do not give a judgement in an assess/evaluate question you will not get full marks
