Group (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. |
