Evaluations vs Personal Values
I do believe that my evaluations with students model my personal values. My personal values rely heavily on trust, communication, and respect. Many of my evaluations weigh heavily on whether the student has communicated effectively throughout their production and pre-production process. If communication is lacking , the whole project is a waste because nothing will ever get done. My evaluations are also measured by the students feedback within their groups. I gain knowledge about the group based on whether they as a whole believed that their team members could be trusted in their roles for the project. I also rely heavily on whether respecting the chain of command was achieved. This also will be evident in the final product as well. So in closing, I believe that imposing my personal values in the evaluation process is a plus. My values help the students to implement new strategies and ways to problem solve when things are not going as expected.
Hi, Shana - a very thorough and impressive evaluation strategy, and your students are much the better for it. Very nice!
