Using student self-assessments as learning tools

HI Steve- Thanks for your post to the forum. I am assuming that the students are asked to relate their own projects to the teaching points? It sounds like that is the same thing as using a rubric - am I correct? Best wishes- Susan

Getting student participation in questioning sessions
