Assessment Reflection

It is obvious that some of you haven't taken this assessment, class or teacher seriously. So its time to find out why. Write a short reflection (100-150 WORDS) about PART B of the assessment task.

Evaluate what was achieved and or displayed. What was the best aspect of the presentations. What was the worst? What more could we have done as a group? You as an individual? Me as a teacher?

The most important thing is to be honest. If it didn't work, why? If if did, why? I'll also give my opinion. Feel free to add or comment on it also as you wish. Feel free to assess what you deem to be appropriate.
