This document discusses self-assessment and feedback. It defines self-assessment as students evaluating their own performance using agreed-upon criteria. Self-assessment promotes responsibility, independence, and lifelong learning. It has advantages like helping students identify strengths and weaknesses, but also disadvantages like students not being fully trained or experienced in self-assessment. Feedback is information provided about one's work or progress that identifies what is good and needs improvement. Effective feedback should be timely, specific, and focus on behaviors that can be changed. Both self-assessment and feedback can improve student learning when implemented properly.
