Assessments (formative, summative, peer, and self) should be designed with the learning objectives in mind. The assignment, test, project, etc. that are assessed should be graded based on a rubric that details the objectives and criteria, and rankings of the learning objectives. Students should be afforded an opportunity to edit and receive feedback prior to the final exam or project. Peer and Self-evaluation help in overall learning as it provides reflection opportunities and promotes agency. Finally, instructor feedback is helpful to the learning process when it is learning objectives-based, individualized, and positively stated.
