"Athletes in Training" Evaluation

 * In the Evaluation Phase, students will have an opportunity to test their product/solution (in this case training video) against their specifications to determine what successful impact it has on the problem. Students will determine what appropriate feedback procedures they will follow to generate objective and qualitative feedback which will be used to analyses their product. Students will also be asked to provide evidence of reflections on their use of the Design Cycle process while creating their product. This is an opportunity for students to look back and determine what they would do differently if given the opportunity to improve upon any and every phase of the process. The students' Reflection Report will contain both product evaluations and self evaluations in separate areas. Students are expected to use the Evaluation Rubric and guiding questions posted below to assist in the generation of the report.**

//(*The students **Reflection Report** is **DUE** on **September 26th, 2011**. The report will be turned in on the ManageBac website. A link is provided below for student convenience.//

//All students (or student groups) wanting to improve their original "temporary" score on the Investigate, Design, and Plan phases are instructed to re-submit these amended documents for re-evaluation. All documents must be received by **September 26th, 2011**to quality for re-evaluation.//
