I am having a hard time making heads or tails of this feedback I received from a recent job.
Maybe I'm tired and burned out, but I can't decipher:
(a) if i did a good job or not
(b) if my score is low / middle / good
(c) what suggestions I should incorporate into my next assignment (as per their instructions)

I have sent back an email asking for clarification, but so far no luck. This is my first assignment for this MSC.

Can you help me understand?

(I will not name the MSC)

Oh, we all know who it is. That particular MSC pretty much only gives 5's and it means you did fine. It was a bit jolting to me when I got my first grade from them and I made a similar post asking if I should be flattered or insulted. 5 means you did everything right.

Yes it is their quirky way of doing their feedback. It is oK to mention the msc because you are not mentioning the client. It is weird but do not worry be happy

Even Dead People get a 5 from them...

Congrats, 5 is their top score! (but it also might be their only score)

The interesting part of that rating is the overall rating is a 5 but all of the detail breakdowns are either 1 or 1.5. That seems inconsistent and confusing to me.

If you add up the highest possible scores for the categories, the sum is 5.0. One way of looking at this time of scoring is the relative importance the MSC places on each category.

Thanks. You learn something new everyday.
