Evaluating Your Work

1 Badge it

During your first week, download the Learning Pathway document and complete the form (this can be found in the first lesson of the topic). Upload this to the first evaluation badge in bournetolearn.com
At the end of the project, download the document again and complete it again.
1. Have you made the progress you would like to have made?
2. Comparing your initial LP document at the start of the project, with the one you have just completed:
  1. Which criteria have you been able to tick off now compared to the initial LP. Explain why you have been able to do this.
  2. Are there any areas you were not able to tick off in the final LP? If so, how do you intend to do to improve on these? If not what would you like to improve on?
  3. Only answer this If you have ticked all of the boxes on both the initial and final LP, name an area you feel you could improve on even further and how do you intend to do this.

For the Egg timer project, identify and explain 2 badge tasks - silver gold or platinum, that you feel went very well (these can be any specific tasks in researching, designing, making or evaluating) e.g, Comparing analogue to digital decisions?
Now identify 2 badge tasks - silver, gold or platinum, that you feel did not go well and why (these can be any specific tasks in researching, designing, making or evaluating) e.g, Downloading the code to the microcontroller?
How would you improve on the above 2 badge tasks if you were to build the project again?
Ask the person next to you how they would improve on the 2 badge tasks you identified for improvement in future projects, this is known as stakeholder feedback.

Reference to contextual challenge and specification.
At the start of the project, we identified the contextual challenge (the problem that needs solving) and a specification (the list of criteria needed to solve the problem).
Refer back to the contextual challenge at the start and discuss (in writing) how well your product solves the problem.
Refer back to the specification at the start and discuss each point, does your product fulfil all of the criteria? This is the evidence to prove that you have solved the contextual challenge.
