Project presentation evaluation

CS682

November 2007

 

In each category 5 is excellent and 1 is poor. You may leave items blank if you think you have insufficient information, but try not to do that very often. If some item has not been addressed and you think it should have been and you can’t figure out an answer based on what has been said, consider a low score.

 

You may write comments on the other side of this page – the more the better.

 

For students: Base your answers on what you find out from the presentation – ignore anything you happen to know from hallway conversations or previous classes. The questionnaire is anonymous. Be honest – that will help your classmates more than uniformly high scores to make them feel good.
