Entwining feedback, self, and peer assessment

Assessment has frequently been used for the single purpose of measuring student success. This article suggests that assessment can help students learn and that teachers should involve students in the assessment process.

It was evident that the combined use of feedback, self, and peer assessment has a strong impact on learning. Copyright © 2005 Rapid Intellect Group.
