Individual Reports (given orally reports at team meetings)

Individual reports are due at each class meeting. Individual reports give you the chance to reflect for yourself on the project and the process in which you are participating, and gives me the chance to provide individual feedback to you when it seems appropriate.

Your reports should follow this format:

What I did--

list the activities you have taken part in to contribute to the project's progress; these do not have to activities you did alone, but you should only list the activities in which you played a contributing role -- be specific; say exactly what you did.

My assessment of the project and our process --

give your assessment of what is going well and what is not going well with your project; be realistic and thoughtful

Criteria for Individual Reports

Your individual reports must be:

- thorough,

- specific,

- thoughtful, and

- timely.

Self/peer evaluations

Self/peer evaluations three times during the semester. A team evaluation will consist of ratings from each team member for each of the others and for yourself.
