Self-Evaluation Question: Look back at the interventions you did last term and analyze them by self-evaluating your development:

- Involvement of the community through the design interventions. Did your process involve others in the design and implementation of the interventions? How meaningful do you think the interventions were for the external people that were involved?
- In terms of situating your interventions, how successful were you in considering the resilience, material flows, situated knowledges and existing infrastructures in your design process?
