Reflecting

How to achieve the highest levels in criterion D:

Use your own assessment criteria (rubric) and be honest about the extent to which you achieved each of the strands. Give a detailed explanation of each and reflect honestly on your product. This criterion measures your ability to EVALUATE in an unbiased manner—not justify the grade you would like to score.

Include evidence from others about the quality of your product/outcome if you can. Did you do a survey or a test to find out what people thought?

Reflect back on your previous knowledge and describe and explain how your knowledge and understanding of the topic you researched has deepened. What did you think then and what do you think now. Why has it changed?

Reflect on the global context. To what extent do you have a deeper appreciation of it now? How did it shape your project?

Reflect on your personal development. What have you learnt about yourself?

It is VITAL that you give specific examples and evidence where possible to back up or demonstrate points that you are making.

Make this section detailed, thoughtful, reflective and specific –without getting flowery.
