E. Evaluate Maximum 6 points
For the evaluate stage, you will:
1. Take a look at the specifications that you wrote in the Investigate stage.
A) Are you happy with the outcome? Explain in detail.
Not really. I didnt finish all the quests of 3D GameLab and I also didnt gain my required
amount of points to get a 7.
B) Did anything change? What changed? Why did it change? I dont believe that anything did.
C) Was something left out from the original plan? Why?
I didnt finish all the quests that I started because I wasnt able to, (Gmail Ninja) since
we were supposed to discontinue it. I still wish that I would get some credit from the
quest since I did everything except for create a screencast-o-matic video.
D) Is there anything you would change about your final product (invention) if you
had more time or could rewind and do things over? What & why?
Id make it look nicer and maybe elaborate where I could.
2. What are 3 things you learned from this project?1 That time management is key
2 It doesnt take much to sit down and work
3 To ask when help is needed
3. How would you rate your performance and involvement?
