Assessment and Evaluation
- Group presentation of projects, allowing sufficient time for interaction between
presenters and peers. Evaluation sheet(s) should be available for peers to evaluate
presentation and indicate comments during presentation. Quiz and/or exam depending
on depth of project can be designed by students with teacher input.
