  2. What were the strong points and weak points of the governmental and economic systems that your group outlined?
  3. After your presentation and the feedback from the class, what would you CHANGE about your "history" of your Threedonia? What would you CHANGE about your Threedonia Governmental/Economic Systems?
  4. What, specifically, did you LEARN during the process of creating your Threedonia? (this can be ANYTHING that you learned regarding governmental systems, working with others, giving presentations, etc.)
  5. How would you recommend the project be changed in the future TO IMPROVE THE LEARNING QUALITY OF THE PROJECT? (please don't just say "We shouldn't have to do a presentation." That does NOT add to the learning quality of the project.)
  6. Based upon the amount of time and effort put into this project and the quality of your information and presentation, what grade do you feel you deserve on the project and why?
