Note: Not all of these sections will apply to every lab/assignment that you evaluate.

Preparation

• What did the investigator do to prepare for the lab?

• See if you can come up with at least one specific suggestion to help them improve their preparation in the future.

• How about something that they did particularly well, and/or something you might not have thought about?

Narrative & Method

• Carefully review the investigator's narrative. Can you find any steps they might explain more clearly?

• Any steps they might have missed or errors they might have made?

• Interesting alternatives they might explore?

• If they are stuck somewhere, feel free to give them a hint. Don't give them the answer, but maybe a suggestion, or a resource you found useful.

Presentation

• Was there any of writing that you found particularly effective?

• If the investigator used charts, tables, and graphs to present their results, what one thing could the investigator do to make them more effective? What did you like best about them, and why?

• If the investigator did not use charts, tables, or graphs to present their results, suggest one way that they could to make their report more effective, and why it would make it more effective.

Exploratory skills

• Answers to reflective questions are supposed to help investigators integrate new knowledge gained in the lab, and link it to their existing knowledge. Give the investigator some feedback on how well they are doing so far, as well as some suggestions on how to improve.

• Any other feedback you'd like to give to the investigator?
