Ample opportunities are provided for students to self-assess, and reflect on their own work to enhance self-regulated learning
Integrating self-assessment in the assessment plan for a course (e.g., an analysis of how students prepared for an exam/wrote an essay and what they would do differently in the future) promotes engagement in learning and the development of independent learning
