If other, please explain

II. SPECIFIC PROJECT OUTCOMES

You are now asked to make TWO assessments, First, please indicate the extent to which each of the following possible outcomes was an aspect (or could have been an aspect) of the project due to the nature of the topic, on a scale of
0 not at all
1 to a minimal extent
2 somewhat
3 to a significant extent
4 to a very large extent

Then, for any outcome that was an aspect of the project to a significant (3) or very large (4) extent, assess the level of accomplishment that the student(s) demonstrated in this area, on a scale of

0 did not complete the work for this criterion, or demonstrated severe misconceptions about the important concepts; made many critical errors
1 displayed an incomplete understanding of the important concepts and had some notable misconceptions; made a number of errors when performing important strategies or skills but completed a rough approximation of them
2 applied strategy or concepts without significant errors
3 demonstrated a complete and accurate understanding of the important concepts
4 application of strategy or concept displayed originality or excellence that exceeded expectations
