Assessment Title: First Submission – Feedback Template

Item #	Aspect	Select the most appropriate answer
Research – An Existing Bridge and Failure of a bridge
1	Has all attributes from the Rubric for the research component been addressed?	· Yes · No, provide details: _____________________ ______________________________________
2	Enough content is provided to help you understand about the bridge(s) and causes of failure that have happened.	· Yes · No · Oversupply of content?
3	Are there other references/ information (for e.g. from Discussion Board, the Collaborate sessions, or other literature sources) that you recommend your colleague refer to in order to help refine his/her report?	· Yes Please provide details to accurately locate resource: First week lecture · No
	What other reflections would you suggest to your colleague for the research bridge?	I suggest doing more research on the bridge and do some calculation to estimate the load.
DIY Bridge Plan of Action
5	Enough content is provided to help you understand the proposed bridge and how it is to be built	· Yes · No
6	Has the report addressed all required attributes from First Submission Rubric? If not, please identify which attributes are missing.	· Yes · No Provide details: _____________________ ___________________________________ ______________________________________
7	What suggestions do you have for improving the proposed build (for eg. Other weakness that you can see with the proposed build)?	The design of the bridge is good however, Truss bridges are complicated with complex buildings. Every part needs to fit correctly to achieve its purpose, and anything less will mean that the bridge might not hold a weight. Removing the central support to compensate the load might weaken the structure. Doing more research and calculations will help improving the design and estimate any possible weaknesses. Moreover, I could not see how much kg that the bridge might hold.
8	If you have any other comments that will help your colleague, please provide them here:	You have done great job for the part (the researched bridge) but it would be better if you have done similar for the DIY bridge so you can have more information. Since this is the first submission, there is always space for improvement. Good luck
