INTRODUCTION AND GUIDELINES
This document presents a self-evaluation of your teamwork in the subject of LIN4102-
Environmental Protection, LQI4092-Selected Topics 3, and provides practical evidence for the
evaluation of the Student Outcome 5 (SO5) of ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology, Inc.). The SO5 refers to the ability to function effectively on a team whose
members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive
environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives.
In the subject LIN4102, LQI4092 a total of 12 students have been organized in 4 different
groups of 3 members, to present four topics on Environmental Protection: Water; Air; Waste
Management; and Soil. The presentations were supported by terms of reference and rubrics
provided to all teams.
For the purpose of this assessment, you will perform an informed self-evaluation of your
teamwork in LIN4102, LQI4092. The self-evaluation is divided in two parts:
Part I- Read the SO5 rubrics and fill the self-evaluation table 1 using a scale from 1 to 4
and providing strong justification of your rating;
Part II- Fill questionnaires regarding the team dynamics and your behaviour in the team.
It is very important that you understand that:
 The self-evaluation of teamwork is completely anonymous , so, please, do not leave your
name, ID or any reference to yourself that might identify you in the text;
 The results of this self-evaluation of teamwork will be used to improve the design of
teamwork (SO5) activities in the department, but will not be used to evaluate you,
therefore, your self-evaluation will not affect your or your colleagues’ grades in this
class;
 Since this work is completely anonymous, does not affect your or your colleagues’
grades, please, be as honest as possible, that is most appreciated;
 In the self-evaluation questionnaires consider the average of your experience in the four
teams you were a member of;
