Assessment Criteria

SUMMARY OF WHAT WAS DONE

ANALYSIS

What did I learn that was new to me?

What insights did this new knowledge give to me?
did it help me see something in a new light?
did it help me understand something that I didn’t understand before?

How do I think this might be useful (in practice, in my studies, in my life)?

PERSONAL MEANING

How did I feel about what was done? (Did it affect me emotionally and if so how?)

What did I like or enjoy and why?

What did I dislike and why?

What did I find easy to do or understand and why?

What did I find difficult or challenging to do or understand and why?

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Is there any action that I will take as a result of what was done?

Do I need to plug gaps in my knowledge?

Do I need to investigate or research further?

ACTION TAKEN

What action did I take?

How effective did I feel the action I took was?
