Arviointi:
1) Itsearviointi: kuinka parityöskentely sujui? jaoimmeko tehtävät tasaisesti eli panostivatko molemmat työhön suunnilleen yhtä paljon? käytimmekö riittävästi aikaa tehtävään? olemmeko itse tyytyväisiä lopputulokseen: miksi? /miksi emme?
2) Opettajan arviointi: 
- ohjeistuksen noudattaminen: riittävä pituus? äänitetyt selostukset mukana?
- aiheen käsittely: selkeä? riittävän laaja? informatiivinen?
