Thanks for that. Those targeted questions - especially "What would you do differently?", which is the question my students must be able to answer deeply if they want to "fail big for an A+" - open the door to the heart of figuring out what you've learned beyond the facts, and what you need to learn further. I'm really enjoying your blog, by the way. You're asking great questions, and taking great, intelligent stabs at good "answers." Allison, nice suggestions. Thanks for that.

Most of them find it a really hard thing to do, as they've never been asked to do it before. However, I think it is invaluable for the students to learn 'self assessment skills' and learn how to self reflect. 99.9% of the students are very honest about the level of input into their work and with about 85-90% of the students I agree with the 'grade' they give themselves. I also ask them to tell me - what they've learnt through the process, and what they would do differently, given their time again. Keep up the fabulous work.
