Sorry, I meant the trace of the Hessian. 

You only need the Jacobian determinant if you performing an integration and 
need to transform the limits of integration. The value of the interpolation 
function at the quadrature points on the reference cell and the actual cell are 
the same.

You would need to divide by the volume of the cell to get the average value on 
the cell.
