Evaluate+Final+Product+and+Research+Process

Did you complete the assignment given by the teacher? Go back and review the assignment sheet again to be sure. • Make sure that you have completed all the parts. • Make sure that you have identified the project with your name, your teacher's name, the date and any title, if it applies. See [|Making a Title Page].

When reviewing your work, you should ask yourself: This is also a good time to evaluate your research process from start to finish. Why do you think your teacher assigned you this project? What did you learn from completing the project? Did you develop any skills that you will be able to use again? What part of your workflow worked well, and what would you change next time?
 * Did I meet my teacher's requirements for this assignment?
 * Is my work neat and complete?
 * Are my grammar, spelling, and punctuation correct?
 * Does my language sound natural?
 * Is the introduction as effective as I can make it?
 * Does the body of the project include all the points I wanted to cover?
 * Will the reader understand what I am trying to say?
 * Are there enough examples or details to support my main idea?
 * Are there gaps that need to be filled?
 * Are there parts that do not really fit and so should be eliminated?
 * Does my conclusion leave a strong impression?
 * Did I cite all my sources properly?
 * Does the project flow smoothly?

How will I be evaluated by my teacher? Your evaluation will depend on a lot of different criteria. Most of them should be written by the teacher in the assignment. In addition to the things mentioned above, there might be artistic decisions like the effectiveness of an informational poster, or the literary quality of a play or poem. Some other criteria are common to most projects. Here is a list of common criteria to evaluate: 1. Correct spelling 2. Overall neatness 3. Parts in a logical and correct order, nothing missing 4. Any borrowed material is properly cited 5. Any thesis statements or arguments have been supported with evidence Some teachers provide a self-evaluation tool called a //rubric// which allows you to see what excellent, good, acceptable, and poor work look like**.** This way, you can adjust your project to comply with excellent work. Ideally, you should be referring to a rubric all along as you do your project. It is tough at the end to completely revise something. We all run out of steam at some point. Try to work with the rubric alongside you at each work session. After you evaluate your own work, you may want to ask a relative or friend to check it for spelling, neatness and clarity. Then do a final touch up to your work and turn it in on time! You may want to note down what you think your grade should be and why. This may prove useful later when discussing your grade with your teacher.
