Abstract:

The self-assessment component is substantial research to support the effectiveness of self-assessment and the value of helping students learn to assess their own work. This section will help you to learn more about self-assessment. An extensive example in this paper is based on the type of inexpensive handheld calculators that are commonly used at all educational levels. The questions in the list are general- purpose, self-assessment questions. You can use them in any course you are taking or in any unit you are studying in a course. Notice that you are unlikely to find such questions on a final exam in a course. Your personal learning goals may be quite different than a course instructor has in mind. Moreover, it is difficult for a course instructor to accurately measure your progress in achieving the types of goals listed in the set of questions.
