Mainly this unit was focused on self assessment. We learned how to prepare instruments for the students self assessment, which it can be from questionnaires, surveys, etc. There are some advantages and disadvantages in S.A, for example, students can know how effective they are as learners and how can they become better, the teachers can know where they need an improvement, etc. Even though there are more positive aspects, there are some negative ones, for example, some students can lower themselves. During the course they were excellent students, but at the time to assess themselves, they put lower points, or it can happen vice versa, students who did not work throughout the semester, apparently they were great when they self assess. Students honesty is super important, because if they are not honest, then this tool is not going to work for the teacher.

Self-Assessment

In this unit we realize all the work the teacher has to do at the time to make a test. It is not only that the teacher sits down and make a test, that sounds very easy, but as the unit went through, we comprehend all the different aspects the teacher needs to consider at the time of making one. A test is very important to help us to measure the students skills, but before we need to make sure that a test is valid, that it needs to have a purpose, and one of the major things to consider, is to make instructions very clear, to avoid any confusion in them, because it happens when we as students, do not understand many of the indications a test has. The test help us, as well as the students, to know in which areas they are improving and which ones are not so good.
