Web-based vs. Traditional Lessons: Assessment and Evaluation
Assessment and Evaluation
- Group presentation of projects, allowing sufficient time for interaction
between presenters and peers. Evaluation sheet(s) should be available
for peers to evaluate presentation and indicate comments during presentation.
Quiz and/or exam depending on depth of project can be designed by students
with teacher input.
What makes a good project for a traditional classroom

| Connect to personal experiences | Constructing original thoughts |
| Benefits students' personal growth | Group discussions |
