Evaluate your final product/outcome against the criteria you created during the planning phase of the project. Ask yourself the following questions:
- To what extent did I complete my product based on the success criteria?
- How can I demonstrate that I completed my product based on my success criteria?
- What are my project's strengths?
- What could I have done differently to make my product better reflect my success criteria?
The following additional questions may help too...
- Was your product/outcome successful?
- Did it meet your expectations/ self-created product criteria?
- If you created a rubric you can show which levels you achieved for each criterion. Remember not just to state the achievement levels but analyze:
- Why your product/outcome achieved that level?
- How might you change things to achieve a higher level?
- What would you do differently another time?
- How can you support this with evidence?
- Was audience understanding/satisfaction part of your project goal? (You could conduct a survey to gather evidence of their understanding/satisfaction).
Why evaluate a product and what we looking for?
