-
Did you complete every requirement of the tasks? If not, which requirements you cannot complete? Why?
-
Did you give credit to all the sources you used in your work? If not, why?
-
Did you find all the information you needed? If not, which information you cannot find?
-
Do you use all the research skills effectively? If not, which skills do you think you need to improve?
Questions of judging your efficiency
-
Did you finish each part of works on schedule? If not, which parts you cannot finish on schedule? Why?
-
Are there any discrepancies with what you expected? What should be done to solve the problem?
