Grade 8 Project Review

I want you to write a 400 word essay (one side of A4) that reviews the project as a whole.
Think about:

• How well did you meet the standards and were you satisfied with your final products i.e. the financial model and the brochure. Would this trip be a success?

• What new skills did you learn during this project and how did they help you?

• How well did your plan work? Did you use either the Systems Life Cycle or the Gantt Chart to help you manage the project. What did you learn about planning a big project like this?

• Did you test your model? Does it work? how did decide who would test if for you?

• What did others have to say about your work

• What improvements you would make if you had time. Did anything go wrong?

• What you would do differently if you did the project again. Do you have any alternative ideas that would make this project more successful?
