This page is a work in progress

Areas we want to see students learning are:

• Communication -- with mentors, other project members, affected people, interested people, general audience.

• Community interaction -- is interactive, tries to resolve communication problems, open work interaction, does work in a way that community can see and become involved in.

• Project work -- made expected or adjusted process against milestones, did work in line with community practices/values/norms of open collaboration,

Give points from 1 to 5 for each of the areas below. The 1 represents the lowest score and the 5 the highest score. Sum each score for each category, for example, "Communication: 20, Community interaction: 12, Project work: 12."
