Angela has demonstrated several valuable skills through her ACH50 project. She showed strong communication abilities, presenting her work in a clear, professional format that was easy to follow. Her documentation was well-structured and transparent, acknowledging both the scope and the limitations of her analysis.
She also exhibited a high level of professionalism, engaging with feedback in a positive and growth-oriented manner. Rather than resisting critique, she welcomed it as an opportunity to learn — an important trait for any engineer. This mindset reflects maturity and potential for continued development.
While her technical work requires further depth to fully meet compliance standards, she nonetheless displayed analytical skills, an ability to apply standard regression and fan curve methods, and an awareness of the tradeoffs between full and reduced datasets.
In summary, Angela has demonstrated communication, professionalism, analytical reasoning, and openness to feedback — qualities that will support her growth into a capable engineer.

Your project provides a clear, well-structured implementation of ACH50 calculations using both regression and manual fan curve methods. The documentation is professional in tone and acknowledges limitations. However, the code still lacks critical compliance features (baseline corrections, Annex A environmental normalization, and regression quality checks), and placeholders in the results section need to be replaced with actual values. Good progress overall, but further work is required to meet the federal specification.
Custom Questions
-
What notable qualities or skills did the student demonstrate throughout the project?The student showed strong communication skills, presenting the work in a clear, well-structured format that was easy to follow. She also demonstrated professionalism and self-awareness, acknowledging the limitations of her code and documenting them directly. Her respectful approach to feedback shows maturity and a growth mindset — a quality that will serve her well in future engineering work.
-
How did the student engage with stakeholders during the project?The student engaged with you (the project stakeholder) in a polite, open, and constructive way. Rather than dismissing critique, she accepted it positively and treated it as an opportunity to learn. This reflects an understanding that engineering work must satisfy both technical standards and stakeholder expectations, not just personal satisfaction. Her attitude indicated respect for the client’s requirements and willingness to adjust based on feedback.
-
Did the student effectively manage their time and meet project deadlines? If so, how? If not, what areas could they improve in?The student produced a working script and documentation within the expected timeframe, showing basic time management. However, the presence of placeholders in the results section suggests she may have rushed parts of the project or did not allocate enough time for completing and validating outputs. Improvement would come from prioritizing completeness over polish, ensuring all sections are fully executed before final submission. With stronger planning and review before deadlines, she could deliver both polished and technically complete work.
