1. Evaluate your Product
1. Evaluate your Product
You get the opportunity to assess your product / outcome. Using your criteria, you need to determine to what extent you have met your goal. Were you successful in reaching your goal? How do you know? You must evaluate every criterion, and justify your evaluation with evidence.
It's not a requirement, but it might help you to use a rubric for your evaluation. Some students like to create their own rubric when designing their criteria, or you can use the generic MYP descriptors for each of your criteria:
It's highly recommended you work with your supervisor to complete your evaluation. Your supervisor will help you to standardize your evaluation and ensure that you have enough evidence to justify your evaluation.

Comparing to your baseline
Comparing to your baseline
Remember when you collected your baseline data at the start of the project? Now is the time to take your final measurement and chart your success. You might find it helpful to visualise your results in a chart. This is the data that will help you to prove that you met your goal.
Collecting Feedback
Collecting Feedback
Consider how feedback from your target audience can help you evaluate the success of your product. Can you use feedback to identify potential improvements?
2. Reflect on your Topic and Global Context
2. Reflect on your Topic and Global Context
The key here is to identify what you have learned about your topic and your global context, as a result of completing your project. Look through your process journal for examples, but write one final reflection that summarises how your knowledge and understanding have developed.
3. Reflect on your development as an IB Learner
3. Reflect on your development as an IB Learner
How has this project helped you develop as a learner? Choose three IB Learner Profile characteristics to reflect on. Find examples and evidence in your process journal that demonstrate how you have developed in these areas.
This is not just about finding the characteristics you're "good at". Really consider what challenges you faced as a learner, and how you rose to the challenge and developed new skills. Remember that the Personal Project is all about the process, and what you learned along the way.
