Evaluation of product
I think that my model has a fare amount of positives, but also has some negatives. I think that my model is made quite well, and I built it carefully so it will not break. I think that the materials that I have used were good choices, because they were good for the model. I used more than one kind of material, which I think was good because if I would stick to one kind it would be less interesting and I would gain less knowledge. I think that when I measured, the measurements went quite well because they were straight and I measured them slowly. After my pieces were cut, I used a glass paper to make the edges neat, and to strait them. I worked hard for building the model and I finished it on time.
I think that the things that didn't go quite well were because of bad time management. For example, when I glued everything together, I had to rush a little because I didn't have much time. That is why I have lots of big pieces of glue sticking out. Another example is my windows. Because I didn't have time to cut holes for them, I glued rectangles from a different material instead. I know that these small things don't really affect my final model, but these are some stuff that I could make improvement on, because they depend on time management.

Testing
I created a questionnaire for my client to see what my client thinks about my final model.
1. Do you think that the shelter looks like the design that was sketched before?
Client: Yes, I think that the shelter looks very similar to the drawing made before. Although there were some changes from the design, but they were very little and it even made it better.
2. What did you like about the final piece?
Client: The shape looks stable and strong, and the materials chosen are good. Also the way the model was made looks very good and thought out.
3. What do you think about the materials used for building the shelter?
Client: The materials chosen are very good and easy to build with. They make the shelter look very close to a real shelter. They can also be used in good way.
4. What do you think about the changes made from the first design?
Client: The materials that changed seemed to me better than the materials in the design stage. The shelter looks like something more stable that will stay for more time, and also more strong and safe.
5. What do you think about the quality of the shelter?
Client: I think that the shelter has a very good quality. It is stable, and strong, and shows a good example of a real emergency shelter for natural disasters.
6. Do you think the plan was good enough?
Client: I think that the plan is very good. It is very clear to understand, and with a lot of very good details. It is also very organized and easy to read and follow.
7. What do you think could be improved?
Client: I think that the base could be better, and also the angles of the walls could be cut better so it could also be glued in a better way for the walls to glue into each other.
8. What were some things you didn't like about the model?
Client: I think that maybe the model needs more air inside it that will make the tenperature better, and maybe it could have some more detail added to it.

Design specifications
I think that my shelter is quite good compared to the specification I made in the investigate stage. my shelter includes most of the things I mentioned in my specification.
For example, in my specification to make the shelter from safe materials. All the materials I used were safe and I didn't use materials that didn't look quite safe for the shelter.
Another important point in my specification was to materials that are not too expensive. My materials are not too expensive and I think that they are also good for the shelter.
The specification also said to materials that are not too heavy. The materials I used were not so heavy and they were actually quite light.
I wrote in my specification to make sure that my shelter has some colors in it, so it could be seen clearly. I added a bright yellow door, blue windows, and some green to the roof so my shelter will have color.
There was a part where my specification said to make sure that my shelter is also strong. I made my shelter from strong materials and I built it carefully so it will be strong.
A point in my specification said to make sure that the temperature inside the shelter is good enough for people to get inside it. I added to my shelter some holes that will be used for bringing air into the shelter but also to keep the temperature balanced.
Another example was where it said to choose the materials for the shelter carefully, so the shelter will be made from safe materials. I chose my materials so that they will be good enough for the shelter.
In my specification it also said to make sure that the size of the shelter is good enough. I made my shelter in a size that it will not be too small and not too big.

Social significance
I think that my product is useful because it is important because of a lot of reasons. Emergency shelters are very important because they protect people from natural disasters and other dangers. When there is a natural disaster, people need a place to be in so they will be safe and sure that there is no danger. An emergency shelter is a very good place that is made especially for protecting people in cases of natural disasters. When there is an emergency shelter people can be sure that they are completely safe and they won't have find another place that might not be as safe as the emergency shelter. An emergency shelter is also good because people can be in it on time instead of spending too much time on searching a safe place. Emergency shelters are good for keeping people's safety when there is a natural disaster or another kind of danger.
I think that my emergency shelter is useful because it is very safe, which I think that safety one of the most important parts in an emergency shelter. I think that my shelter is safe because it does include most of the points I mentioned in my specification. Also it is very strong, and as strong the shelter is the safe it will be. My shelter is big enough for enough people to get inside it. I think that it's very important that there will be enough place for people inside the shelter because if not a lot of people can get inside the shelter then the shelter is not useful at all for these people. I also made the shelter not too big because if the shelter is too big it will be less safe because it will have a bigger chance of getting smashed.

Improvements
I think that my product went quite well, but I still think that there are some things that could still be improved. I think that the area that I could mostly improve on was time management. I think that if I would have done things faster I would have more time left over. If I had more time to do things I could add more stuff and put more details. For example, I could actually make holes for the windows and breathing holes and stick something on it. I could also add more details so my shelter will be better and with more things that will help it.
I also think that I could maybe make less changes from the design, plan, and create stage. I made changes from the design when I made the plan, but I also made changes from the plan when I created. My model looks similar to the design I made, but when you look at the drawing, you can recognize things that are not included in the model. My model is not that detailed but I put on it the main parts, and I think that it looks about like the drawing I made in the design stage. I think that if I had more time I could add some of the changes I mentioned before so these two things I could improve in link into each other.

Investigation
I think that my investigation turned out to be good according to the fact it's been my first assignment and first step of my project. In the investigation I had to investigate and study the subject area of my project. What I think first went well, was that the investigation part helped me to gain some knowledge about my project, before I started doing it. It was important that I gained some knowledge about my project before, because than I will be able to understand why I am doing the project and what it is for. I think that most of the things in the investigation went well. For example, I think that all the researching and the writing was good. Also the way I chose my information was I think well too.
However, I think that there were still some things that could be improved. For example, there were some parts in my investigation that I think could be longer. I think that I could add some more detail to some parts and write more about it. I could get some more information about the topic and I could also add some more things to it that will explain it more and make it more understandable. I think that adding more detail to my work will make it better. I could discuss more things to make things clearer and help the information be more interesting.

Design
I think that in the design stage I came up with good designs of emergency shelters. I think that at the end my client chose the best design. The chosen design was the one that I also thought was the best one because it looked the safest and strongest one. It also had a good shape, and it had some good stuff that I added to it which made it better. I think that the part where I made the chosen design more detailed went well because I payed attention to my client's feedback and added more things. For example, my client asked me to create another window, and add another place with holes for breathing. I added these into the design, and I also wrote what is what with arrows pointing to it.
I think that the things I could improve on were mostly about the way I presented things on the designs, and the way I wrote the evaluation against specification. I think that I could make the way I presented the designs better, maybe by making the drawings more detailed, or more clear. I also think that the part where I had to evaluate against the specification could be better. I think that in that part I wrote mostly about the basic things, but I could write much more if I added more details to it and wrote about more things.

Plan
I think that in plan I made my work very detailed and thought out. I mentioned all the things I could think of and wrote about each one as much as I could. I did my best at every single step and in the evaluation part I wrote even more about everything. I wrote about how I am going to do the step, in how much time I am going to finish it, how I am going to keep up with that time, what materials I am going to use, how to use that material, what tools I am going to use, how to use these tools, what things I need to prepare, what things I need to pay attention to, and what I need to be aware of.
I think that maybe I was missing some things that I did in my create stage which I could add to my plan. For example, in the create stage, after the plywood was cut I made the edges nicer using a glass paper. I forgot to add that part in the plan and I think that this is an example of stuff that I could mention in my plan. I think that even though I had a lot of detail, I could add some more. I think that I could add more steps to my plan because I had only about twenty four. I think that I wrote enough on each step, but I could still add more steps.

Create
I think that in my create stage most of the things went like in the plan but there were some things missing in the plan. I think that my shelter turned out well at the end, and I liked how it looked. Most of the things went well in my create stage, and I think that I made the shelter quite similar to the design. When I built the model I did things like in the plan and I followed what I wrote carefully so the result will be good. I used the right materials and tools, and I built my shelter slowly so it will not break or fall down. I worked hard to build my shelter so it will go well.
I think that the main part where I struggled in the create was that I didn't do things in the time that I was supposed to. I needed more time to do things and it took me much more time to do some of them than the time I wrote in my plan. I finished my model on time but I think that I could maybe write better timings in my plan that I could actually achieve, and also do things faster and not stick on one thing for a long time.

Evaluation (of product only)
I think that I evaluated quite good on the evaluation of product. I think that I wrote most of the things could be written and I also split this part into two sections, the positives, and the negatives. In the positives, I wrote about what went well and what things were good. In the negatives, I wrote about what didn't go so well and could be improved. I think that I did quite a good job on this and I think that I wrote about the main things and not about the other stuff that weren't so important. I wrote what I thought about most things and I always made sure that there is enough detail.
I think that I could still mention some more things for either sections, the positives and the negatives. I could maybe think and come up with some more things to write about even if it wasn't that important. I could add more details for each section by writing more things and adding more ideas, and also by writing more about what I think about it and what I could do to improve on the things I wrote in the negatives section. I think that adding detail is important because it makes the work more interesting to read and more understandable.
