Evaluaiton Time

For the final evaluation of the project I hired four students to take the class for credit, meaning that they would have to complete the entire class including exams. These four worked through the project at my house over spring break. It took them the better part of three day holiday to complete the course. These learners were chosen for their diversity in age and intelligence for lack of better words. One is a senior with a 4.0 cumulative average, one was a sophomore with a 4.0 average, one was a sophomore with a 2.7 average, and one was an eight grader with a 3.4 average.
Three of the four were able to complete the class and pass all the exams with high scores. The sophomore with the lower GPA failed one of the tests, but was able to still earn credit with over 80% in the class. I took thier scores and their ability to complete the assignment as a positive sign for the project.

After the student completed the course they were asked to complete a survey. The results can be found at the following ink.

This summative evaluation along with the formative evaluations used throughout the design process have lead to many design changes, and a better final product.

All learners had positive feedback. This was very rewarding. This process has not been an easy process, but has been a fun and rewarding one.
