Online courses need a strong assessment plan, including both formative and summative assesment. Assessment methods should be varied and appropriate to both the learning objectives and level of learning. For higher levels of learning, where the product of the assessment cannot be readily measured by right or wrong answers, rubrics deatiling criteria and the level at which it was met and how points are assigned can be very helpful. Self-assessment can help students review and revise their own work. Peer assessment can also be valuable and should be accompanied by guidance to reviewers and rubrics to help them effectively assess the work.
This is about making constructive criticism. It is also attempting to make objective standards on how to assess learning and teaching.
It is important to provide clear feedback to students for help improve outcomes.
I really liked the idea of self-assessment and the reflective question asking students what they changed after completing their self-assessment. It's standard to suggest that students edit their work and read it carefully for errors before turning it in; however, I think the self-assessment and having them grade their paper according to the rubric would add a great deal of value to a final edit.

Providing good thorough feedback of any kind can be helpful when the students are encouraged to read and review to ensure further learning with future assignments.
Feedback is essential all the time when discussing and in each specific objective.

Feedback is very important, as it is a way to communicate with the student. It provides insight how they feel going forward on a module or exercises. I like the Rubric has it pertains to the assignment and provides better understanding of the grade.
Appropriate and timely feedback is necessary for students to know and understand what they did right and what they did wrong. This way they can see where they need to improve. Plus positive reinforcements help students confidence.
That there are many types of ways to give feedback and to utilize them but also a rubric is important. It tells the student what is needed and how the assignment is to be graded.
The importance of specific feedback as well as the different types of assessment including summative assessments and that they should be directly related to the course learning outcomes.
I learned more about the specifics needed in a rubric. This was helpful to me because I am a new lecturer and have never used a rubric before. However, I found them helpful and they reduced my anxiety as an undergraduate student. I will definitely be using this.
Having rubrics will help students identify where theres need to be more improvement and help the professor identify if the design of the course is the most effective.
I learned how to use various means to reach out to students to help them and myself reach our goals
The assessment types will help both student and instructor reach their goals
Formative and summative assessments along wth both self and peer appraisal are great tools to guide students towards their learning

It is a very valuable tool the use of different types of assesments. Rubrics play a great role since the student will understand what will be evaluated in his work. I do o agree in letting them evalate their peers work since in my opinion, lead ti deception when they compare their work with the work of their peers.
I intend to emphasize how assignments are graded through the rubric to help students reflect on the assignments they complete
I learned the importance of balancing formative and summative assessments and how the use of rubrics is helpful to keep students engaged. I will continue to provide constant feedback.
Feedbacks are great if they're elaborated and constructive. My experience has been while we love reading feedbacks, many are not liberal to provide them. The suggestion of asking specific questions to prompt more detailed and "usefull" feedbacks is a tool that I will definitely incorportate into discussions as well as rubrics.
I never considerewd the importance of rubrics in creating my assessments. The will definately help in the peer to peer assessment process.
The assessments should provide with an understanding of what knowledge students have gained and what they can do with that knowledge. Using rubrics is a viable way to provide for that consistency. Rubrics can be used to provide for self- or peer-assessment.
