<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">To me it means that the solution that has been developed meets the specifications that were defined in the SRS, and that the students have done a useability test and if there were any weaknesses in the useability
test then the students have either modified their program to meet these weaknesses. Or they have written a statement saying that they knew that there were issues but constraints effected their ability to repair them, eg time.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The second part of the evaluation report includes the students discussing their Gantt chart and saying how it helped or did not help in their monitoring of their project and specifically explaining which tasks
took more or less time and if they used the Gantt chart to constantly manage how they were going. It could include a journal that they have keep to keep track of where they are or they may have annotated the original Gantt chart. They also have the option
of creating a diagram that shows this and it needs to have extensive annotations showing what is happening.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
