Group
Evaluation Rubric

(presentation)

Your team is to develop a presentation about your plan to manage growth and provide desired services in a rapidly growing suburban community. The "Group Evaluation Rubric" provides the criteria that will be used to assess your work in developing a creative recommendation that reflects understanding of the major viewpoints and data about questions of growth in the community.

Each member of a group will receive the same "group grade".  In addition, each group member will receive an individual grade.  The " Individual Evaluation Rubric" will be used along with ratings of fellow group members in determining the individual grade.
