CPE 308 Student Self-Evaluation

Your self-evaluation summarizes what you learned from the course project experience and what you accomplished or contributed to your team.  Structure your evaluation around the questions below, but feel free to elaborate as you see fit. Whenever possible, provide specific, concrete examples as evidence of what you have learned. Do not e-mail answers. I will only accept a printed document.

You should use your best written English and prepare an organized, coherent, and professional self-evaluation. Follow the course writing guidelinesPage limit maximum two pages.

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.

  1. What was your single greatest technical accomplishment or contribution to the team project? What concrete evidence have your produced of your contribution? Be specific.
  2. Discuss other major contributions to the project. Be specific; don't generalize about how you assisted here or helped there. If the contribution resulted from a shared task, identify all contributors.  Describe the specific artifact you produced.
  3. Explain how you contributed to the group on the non-technical side. You might consider issues such as communication, cooperation, participation, reliable, quality of work, leadership.
  4. 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.
  5. Based on the evidence you cited above, give yourself a final grade (on an 0-10 scale) for your contribution to the PROJECT (not the course). Evaluate yourself, not your team. Assign a SINGLE grade, not a range. 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).
