Evaluating the project is vital for us and our main funding agency, the EPSRC (The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council). This will help us to justify the money and time spent on the project and will provide evidence help keep the project going beyond 2010. There are two options
- Use your own evaluation process.
- Use our evaluation sheets -
available here.
We are happy with both approaches.
On completion of the project please put the evaluation material in the class kit plastic box. Also, feel free to email me any additional comments and suggestions. The more feedback we get, the more we can develop the material.
