Evaluate - Criterion E

Evaluation is a big part of the MYP and the Design Cycle.

According to the IBO, "Students are expected to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification in an objective manner based on testing, and to evaluate its impact on life, society and/or the environment. They are expected to explain how the product/solution could be improved as a result of these evaluations.

Students are expected to evaluate their own performance at each stage of the design cycle and to suggest ways in which their performance could be improved."

To get full marks the student:

• evaluates the success of the product/solution in an objective manner based on the results of testing, and the views of the intended users,
• provides an evaluation of his or her own performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggests improvements, 
• provides an appropriate evaluation of the impact of the product/solution on life, society and/or the environment.
