Criterion D - Step 1

February 2 / 2018

Stage: D) Reflecting

Approaches to learning: Reflection skills because I was able to look back to my actions and precisely analyze my product and give it a grade based on my criterion table.

According to Lizbeth's blog, the first step to be done in the criterion D process is to give yourself and your final product a number of grades based on the criteria you set previously on your criterion table. 

Regarding esthetics, I believe my book deserved an 8 because the circuits present in the front cover make it very attractive to the eye, as well as the pictures and the fun facts present in the inside on the book, and as demanded by the criterion table, there are no manufacturing errors whatsoever. 

In cost, I would say I deserve an 8 as well because the minimum price I set for the book was 60,000 pesos, and the value turned out to be 70,000 pesos, meaning I over achieved the set investment price.

In the user or recipient criteria my product receives a 7 because I tested it on 5 subjects with diverse ages and they all understood the book, however it is impossible to be absolutely certain that every person who reads it is able to understand what it is I am talking about.

In function, the book will receive a grade of 8 because according to pages, it does not hold any grammatical error, it talks about everything I previously proposed myself and organizes the different topics in a proper way that provides an easy access to the desired definition.

Materials used in the making of the book deserve a grade of 8 because it comes with a hard cover and satin paper that provide the book with a very high quality that will aid in it's endurance.

Size and content of my book deserve an 8 as well because every specification set in the criterion table came true with the book, for example measurements were precisely the same and I overachieved the minimum page number which was 25, and I ended up with a total of 52 pages.

The impact my book has on the audience deserves a grade of 7 because as I previously mentioned before, it is well explained and easy to understand by all the subjects I tested, however, it is yet to soon to tell if all readers will be able to comprehend what it is trying to teach.
