CPE 308 Student Midterm Self-Evaluation
Prepare a typewritten self-evaluation of your work up to the date of
the midterm in this course. Consult the class calendar for the due
date.
Structure your evaluation around the questions below, but feel free to
elaborate as you see fit. Whenever possible, provide specific examples
as evidence of what you have learned. Do not e-mail answers. I will
only
accept a printed document.
Take this seriously; it can be a significant factor in determining
your
grade in the course. You should use your best written English and
prepare
an organized, coherent, and professional self-evaluation. Follow
the course writing
guidelines. The paper will be graded using the
Cal Poly Writing
Proficiency Exam grading
scale.
Your evaluation should be accurate, concrete and specific (no
ambiguity or vagueness), and provide measurable, objective
evidence. It should present a balanced analysis containing both
things you succeeded at as well as areas that need improvement.
- Describe any ongoing role you perform for your team and your
major
responsibilities.
- What was your single greatest technical accomplishment or
contribution
to the team project? What concrete evidence have you produced of your
contribution? Be specific.
- Discuss other major contributions to the project. Be specific;
don't
generalize
about how you assisted here or helped there. If you contributed to a
shared
task, make it clear who helped and who was the major contributor (or
person
primarily responsible).
- From your time log or status report data, determine the average
hours you
worked per
week and compare it to the planned hours per week (in the project
plan). Show all calculations. Attach a copy of your time log to
this report.
- Create a report of Trac tickets you were
assigned as an individual
(not a "group" task). Compute the percent completed on time.
- Based on the evidence you cited above, give yourself a midterm
letter grade
for the PROJECT (on an A-F scale). You need to judge yourself clearly,
objectively, and accurately. Your assessment must be based on
accomplishments,
not effort. Explain your evaluation of yourself (perhaps referring to
evidence
above).
- Reflecting on our mistakes is a good way to learn from our
experience.
Describe any significant mistakes that you made as an individual, and
describe
what you learned from those mistakes.
- Describe any plans you have for improving your performance in the
second
half of the course.
How to create a Trac Custom Report
On your team Trac site, from the Trac toolbar choose "View Tickets."
In upper right click the "Custom Query" link.
Check all the status checkboxes (including closed)
From the "Add filter" drop down box, select "Owner"
A new filter appears for owner.
From the relation drop down select "is" then provide your username in
the field.
Click the "Update" button.
The result looks like the snapshot below. Print the report in landscape
format and attach
to your self-eval. Make the sure the print is legible (approx 12 pt font).
Trim the last 3 columns if necessary.
