Peer and self assessment is a great way to develop formative assessment an when it comes with rubrics it is a guide.
Para mí la autoevaluación es sumamente importante porque el estudiante asume responsabilidad sobre su proceso de enseñanza.
The importance in planning and and recognize the value of each part.
Be clear about the outcomes of the course and prgram department when we are preparing the rubric and be able to explain to the students what the learning objectives are. Now it is important when the feedback is offered so that the reinforcement of learning is achieved.
Rubrics should be designed based on the student's success. We must think that it is a process so that we can evaluate and reinforce areas per student. And that they understand where to reinforce and how.
As a professor you should have in mind that everytime you work a rubric you have to had present the acomplishment of the student regarding the topic of the assement. Every objetives in the rubric have to match a possible outcome for the student.
It is very important that the student knows each rubric in advance; Teachers should discuss criteria for criteria. A
A well done rubric helps the student to improve each project or work.
Teach students how important is to understand the purpose of rubrics.
The advantages of rubrics, in this cadse analitical, provides specific feedback to the student and teacher.
I actually learned quite a bit about rubrics. It is importnt to make sure the rubrics are creted to provide student centered learning, provide formative feedback and used as a self reflection and or peer constructive criticism process. It should align with the learning outcomes of the assignment.

Rubrics can be used as an assessment tool before and after assignments. Using self- and peer-assessments provide for the development of constructive criticism, witch it’s really important.
The section on peer-reviews and student-centered assessment was interesting. I have never incorporated it into my classes, but I did take a class where it was one part of the process. In my case, the student I was supposed to assess did not turn in their assignment on time and the teacher had to assign me someone else (who had already been reviewed) at the last minute. After I finished the superfluous review, the student turned in his paper, so I ended up doing two reviews at the last minute. It was not a good experience for me. After this unit, I think I am unfairly prejudiced against peer-reviews.

The importance of peer-to-peer assessment cannot be overlooked. Allowing and fostering this interaction can provide constructive criticism between student, peers and instructors and can help students judge how well they learned the material.
Although designing a course using rubrics may take longer, it will provide a much better learner centered outcome, improve continuity and consistency for instruction. This is especially true if there is more than one instructor teaching the same course.
I like the thought of peer assessments through the use of rubrics. Not only does it give the student a opinion from someone going through the course with them, it also helps the student providing the assessment another tool in learning the material. The rubric also becomes a studying tool for the students.
Rubrics can be time consuming to create
In this module, we learned about the different types of assessments and how they are useful when reflecting on rubics.
I learned the difference between holistic and analytic rubrics and their connection to learning outcomes.
While I use rubrics to assess students' assignments, and while I also use peer reviews, self assessment is something that I've steered away from. I suppose I've worried that not all students will give themselves fair/honest grades. However, I do see how self-assessment can encourage reflection, and reflection certainly plays a part in retaining information, so perhaps I'll work in a small stakes self-reflection with every major written assignment.
Rubrics should be made or a specific assignment or else they might serve no effective purpose. The layout of a rubric is also fundamental for students' success.
