performance in some way.

Each group will have 10 minutes for the performance and 5 minutes for additional comments and questions from the group. The 5 minutes could be
used to critique your performance (think critically and reflectively about it), explain why you presented in this way, and/or to describe things that you
learned but could not include in your performance.

You will also be asked to do a confidential evaluation of your group work. This form is available on the Moodle site.

You will do a group rating of your performance, there will be a few assigned students in another group who will also rate your performance on the
rubric, and one of the instructors will also rate your performance. The instructors will meet the Tuesday following class to discussing grading to insure
consistency. We will send out grades after the meeting.
