Criteria for Group Projects

Question How can students evaluate the results of group projects?

Answer: FINE

. Facts—information that  the students could build on in order to form ideas and concepts.

. Interesting

. Neat—important for overall appeal and ease in gaining knowledge

 . Effort—in small group situations, one student has the potential for letting the whole group down.

And if group projects don’t measure up? NOT—“Not Our Thing.”

Comment: Memorable criteria—with some clarification. RayS.
