Evaluation Project Assignment Sheet

Need help with my English question – I’m studying for my class.

Purpose:

The purpose of this assignment is for you to start thinking about how we use evaluative processes to make decisions on a daily basis.

This unit has potentially wide applications. We evaluate when selecting sources for an academic paper as a way of weeding out the sources that are not credible. We evaluate when booking

vacation flights (Where is the flight flying out of? How much is the flight? How much does the airline

charge per bag?) We are always asking ourselves these sorts of questions when we make decisions. We are always weighing the options and looking at the different components of the subject in question.

I would like to compare: OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE VS RUBY TUESDAY

For this particular project you are tasked with evaluating a restaurant/dining

establishment—in a sense, you’re writing a restaurant review. Once you select a place to

write about, you’ll want to establish a criteria you can use to evaluate it. Your evaluative

criteria depends on what you look for in that context. Think about your expectations and how

they measure up to your experience. Given our present circumstances, much of this will be

done from memory. But there is also room to make the writing more relevant by perhaps

considering how the establishment in question has responded to COVID-19.

900 words minimum

A clear evaluative criteria which indicates how you are looking at the subject of your evaluation and

is applied equally across the board.

A clear and argumentative thesis statement which notes whether or not your subject is successful

according to your evaluative criteria

Remember, nothing is perfect. You should have some sort of counterargument.

Also note, you don’t have to evaluate something you like. Just remember the risk of charged emotional language coming across like a rant.
