ASSESSMENT

The project will be assessed by the teacher following these rubrics. Students will participate in the assessment of the oral presentation. For each presentation, a student, randomly, will be given an assessment grid to fill. In that way the group will be assessed by the teacher and one of their peers.

This project will be 20% of the final grade for the 2nd term.
