Reflection is part of the learning program at the Future Builders Academy. We spend 2 hours on a Friday from 6-8 PM reflecting on learning progress in the Civilization 101 Experiment.

Weekly Learning Log Scoring Procedure

Step	Action	Key Question	What to Look For	Output
1. Complete Log	Ensure all sections are filled before scoring	Is the log complete?	Learning, Output, Evidence, Impact, Personal Mastery all present	Ready for scoring
2. Identify Claims	Underline or highlight concrete statements	What actually happened?	Built, tested, used, improved, measured	List of real claims
3. Score Output (0–30)	Assign score based on tangible result	What exists now that did not exist before?	Notes (5), draft (10), functional (20), integrated (25), reusable (30)	OutputScore
4. Score Learning (0–20)	Evaluate capability gain	What can the person do now?	Concept (5), applied (10), repeatable (15), transferable (20)	LearningScore
5. Score Evidence (0–20)	Verify proof of claims	Can someone else verify this?	None (0), self-report (5), photo/video (10), test/demo (15), measured data (20)	EvidenceScore
6. Score Impact (0–15)	Assess real-world relevance	Who benefits from this?	None (0), vague (5), use case (10), real user (12), deployed (15)	ImpactScore
7. Score Personal Mastery (0–15)	Evaluate internal improvement	What behavior actually changed?	Intent (5), behavior change (10), consistent (12), transformation (15)	PersonalMasteryScore
8. Calculate Total	Add all scores	What is the total performance?	Sum of 5 categories	TotalScore (0–100)
9. Apply Caps	Enforce anti-gaming rules	Are Output or Evidence missing?	If Output = 0 → max 30 If Evidence = 0 → max 40	Adjusted TotalScore
10. Assign Status	Classify performance level	How strong is this week?	80+ Excellent 65–79 Strong 40–64 Moderate <40 Needs Attention	Final Status
11. Audit Check	Quick validation pass	Is this grounded in evidence?	No vague claims, no inflated scoring, matches log content	Finalized Score
12. Peer Review	Optional second review	Would another person agree?	Adjust if needed, note reason briefly	Confirmed Score
