Using the scale on the following page, in the first column of the rubric, rate from 0 - 4:
1. Understanding of ISD Elements: 3
2. Implementation and Integration of ISD Tactics and Strategies: 3
3. Reflective Writing: 4

Comments (compulsory):
Albert has demonstrated a clear understanding and application of the concepts to designing this unit. I must confess that
when I was introduced to his unit design in the group forum, my first reaction was that it was too straightforward to provide
any extensive information on, moreso, an entire unit. However, Albert has clearly demonstrated his craftsmanship and
resourcefulness in his research skill.
