Self-Assessment

Please give yourself a rubric mark for each of the following areas. For each mark, please write a 2-5 sentence explanation for why you think you should get that mark.

Areas to mark yourself:

• Approaches project and tasks with a positive attitude
• Challenges self to learn new things
• Uses creativity in project
• Works independently to complete work fully and by due date

Reflection after Round 1

Please consider the following questions thoughtfully and record your own answers. Please be as specific as possible. I intend to try to incorporate your feedback into changes in the second half of IWS 5000, but to do so it needs to be helpful and specific.

• What do you think went well about your first project in IWS?
• Why do you think this went well?
• What do you think could have gone better? 
• How could this be improved next time?
• Is there anything you would remove from the project? 
• What would you replace it with? If this is something that was assessed, how will your replacement task be marked?
• Is there anything you would add or expand on?
• Are there any other changes you would like?

After making thoughtful notes on these things, please meet with the rest of the IWS students. As a group, share your thoughts. Discus changes until you come to an agreement. Develop a written report for me that describes the changes you, as a group, agree you want to see and how they can be brought about.
