# Evaluating goals and product

![](/files/-Maolp-dPXwTEzMYrMg-)

When evaluating the product students should use their success criteria. Students should gather evidence to show the success of the product. Their evaluation should focus on what extent they achieved their goal.

When evaluating the impact of the project (both the learning goal and the product), students might talk about how it impacted them personally or how it impacted others.

| Possible impacts of the learning goal                 | Possible impacts of the product             |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Develops specific ATL skills                          | Meets a need in the community               |
| Extends knowledge about an area of interest           | Showcases the students’ skills or abilities |
| Gains confidence by completing an independent project |                                             |
