Unit Five Reflection When we let students to self-assess their activities we are assigning them a huge work because their performance in class would be reflected in how mature they are giving themselves a grade.

It implies planning it as part of the educative process, even if it is an informal assessment. this means to consider that one or any kind of assessment is going to be done during the course, either a the beginning, middle or end of it. To do assessment of any kind implies as well to take into account the time that it will take to do it, and the moment in which it should be done within the whole process.

That would determine what kind or data or information would be needed to be collected and how, and what should be expe...
