✓ Grade Sprint Report #8

The Sprint Report serves both as part of the course grading requirements and as a way to give you insight into where each team member stands in their work and how they are thinking about the project.

  • Self-Evaluation highlights how students view their presence, contributions, and collaboration.

  • Implementation Check shows how students put into practice the tasks connected to Professional Development.

  • Reflection shows how students are connecting their experiences to project practices and the program.

Grading: Evaluate reports objectively based on the rubric, the evidence students provide, your observations from sessions, and the required number of sentences. Fair grading ensures accountability and consistency across the team and program.
