Evaluate

EVALUATE (Criterion E) Maximum 6

According to the IBO,
"1.Students are expected to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification in an objective manner based on testing, and to evaluate its impact on life, society and/or the environment. They are expected to explain how the product/solution could be improved as a result of these evaluations.

2.Students are expected to evaluate their own performance at each stage of the design cycle and to suggest ways in which their performance could be improved.

3.To get a 6 the student: evaluates the success of the product/solution considering the results of testing, and the views of the user. The student evaluates their own performance at some stages of the design cycle and considers improvements. The student considers the impact of the product/solution on life, society and/or the environment."

Let's talk about what this means, then we'll get started!

1. Print the questionnaire (that you created in the Investigate) and show your wiki page to 5 people and ask them to answer your questionnaire.
2. Write a paragraph to "analyze" the feedback. In other words write about the scores that you received and say how your wiki page could be improved. (Use phrases like: Based on my feedback I can conclude . . .)
3. Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle: Investigate, Design, Plan, Create and Evaluate AND suggest ways that you can improve your performance. (You need 5 paragraphs here).
4. Write a final paragraph saying if you accomplished your goal and what impact it will have. (In other words, look at the unit question - were you successful? Explain. Relate back to the Area of Interaction.) Remember this is the final paragraph of your research project. It should finalize the project.

Any questions, please raise your hand and I will be happy to help you.

IB Learner Profile - Reflective

Learning objectives: carry out tests to compare final product against design specification, suggest improvements, reflect on their performance and identify parts they found difficult and suggest ways in which their performance could be improved.
