Year 10, Please finish your Create (Criterion D)  and submit today.  Remember this includes your business card and the paragraph(s) stating how well your plan worked.

Then let's move on to the final step of the MYP Design Cycle.

Next on the list is Evaluate - Criterion E (Maximum 6)

1.  Show your business card to at least 5 people
2.  Ask them to complete the test that you created in the Investigate
3.  Analyse feedback.  Write a paragraph evaluating  the feedback you receive.  Then suggest ways that you could improve your product based on these findings.
4.  Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle (Investigate, Design, Plan, Create) AND suggest ways that you could improve your performance.
5.  Write a paragraph in which you evaluate the impact of your product/solution on OIS (Did you meet your unit goal?  Relate this paragraph back to the Area of Interaction that you used in your "Identify the Problem" in the Investigation).

Remember to leave a comment on this post stating that you understand your assignment. (Thanks a bunch!)
