3. Student Performance Assessment (Rory) 3. 学生表现评估 (Rory)
Participation and Activeness 参与度和积极性
-
Student participated actively, especially when prompted, demonstrating engagement with the critical questions. 学生积极参与，尤其是在被提示时，表现出对批判性问题的投入。
Language Comprehension and Mastery 语言理解和掌握
-
Good initial grasp of GDP definition and excellent retrieval of the link between GDP growth and population (leading to GDP per capita). 对GDP定义有良好的初步掌握，并出色地回忆起GDP增长与人口之间的联系（导致人均GDP）。
-
Struggled slightly more with initial conceptualization of PPP and the full implication of the informal economy, but grasped the concepts once elaborated. 在PPP的初步概念化和非正式经济的全部含义上略显吃力，但在阐述后掌握了这些概念。
Language Output Ability 语言输出能力
Oral: 口语：
-
Generally fluent, but needed prompting to structure arguments as formal evaluation points. 总体流利，但在构建正式评估点时需要提示。
Written: 书面：
N/A (No explicit writing assessment during the session)
无（本节课没有明确的书面评估）
Student's Strengths 学生的优势
-
Quickly understood the mathematical link between GDP, Population, and GDP per Capita. 快速理解了GDP、人口和人均GDP之间的数学联系。
-
Could correctly identify that exclusion of informal economy leads to an underestimate of GDP. 能够正确识别非正式经济的排除会导致对GDP的低估。
-
Showed willingness to engage with complex critical analysis, even if initial recall was slow. 表现出愿意参与复杂批判性分析的意愿，即使初步回忆较慢。
Areas for Improvement 需要改进的方面
-
Needs to proactively recall evaluation points related to GDP critiques (PPP, Informal Economy) without heavy scaffolding. 需要在没有大量引导的情况下，主动回忆与GDP批判相关的评估点（PPP、非正式经济）。
-
Requires practice in structuring critiques clearly as 'evaluation points' suitable for an exam context. 需要在构建批判性论点时更加清晰，以适应考试情境的要求。
4. Teaching Reflection 4. 教学反思
Effectiveness of Teaching Methods 教学方法的有效性
-
The step-by-step questioning approach, especially using visual aids (chart) and concrete examples (Big Mac), was highly effective in guiding the student to the correct economic critiques. 循序渐进的提问方式，特别是利用视觉辅助（图表）和具体例子（巨无霸指数），在引导学生得出正确的经济批判方面非常有效。
Teaching Pace and Time Management 教学节奏和时间管理
-
The pace was appropriate for review, allowing sufficient time for deep discussion on complex evaluation points. 节奏适合复习，为深入讨论复杂的评估点留出了充足的时间。
Classroom Interaction and Atmosphere 课堂互动和氛围
Engaging, analytical, and supportive. The teacher encouraged the student to play 'devil's advocate' throughout the session.
引人入胜、分析性强且支持性高。教师鼓励学生在整个课程中扮演“魔鬼代言人”。
Achievement of Teaching Objectives 教学目标的达成

Excellent identification of the GDP vs. GDP per capita distinction and the role of population. 出色地识别了GDP与人均GDP的区别以及人口的作用。
Next Teaching Focus 下一步教学重点
-
Continue with Theme 2: Deep dive into the remaining objectives (Inflation targeting, Economic Growth objectives, Trade-offs). 继续主题2：深入研究剩余目标（通货膨胀目标，经济增长目标，权衡取舍）。
Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议
Evaluation & Argument Structuring: 评估与论证结构：
-
When answering critique questions, structure the answer clearly: State the critique (e.g., PPP is flawed), explain the mechanism (e.g., exchange rates distort cost of living), and conclude its implication for GDP reliability. 回答批判性问题时，清晰地构建答案：陈述批判点（例如，GDP存在PPP缺陷），解释其机制（例如，汇率扭曲生活成本），并总结其对GDP可靠性的影响。
