Evaluation
Evaluation is an ongoing process. Students should be observed throughout the project and assessed on their creativity, work habits, group communication skills and attitude. Below are two grading rubrics that can be used to give students summative assessments based on specific aspects of the project and the group and individual requirements. Students can earn up to 80 points on the individual portion of the project and 20 points on the group project.
