Evaluation AbstractSelf-assessment has many advantages for student learning. By inducing students to thinkabout their own learning, it encourages metacognitive practices that deepen learning. Ithelps them to gain perspective, by thinking about how assignments fit into the context oftheir education. By itself, self-assessment is a useful formative exercise. While self-assessment is not reliable when students do not understand the material well, it ispossible to combine it with peer assessment or instructor assessment to derive validgrades. There are several approaches to including a self-assessment component in astudent’s grade, on the basis that accurate self-assessment itself demonstrates learninggains. The
