In this article we will walk you through how to use Self-Assessment of Work from the perspective of a student.

If you’d like more information on how this tool works, you can check out the overview article here:

We're devoted to making our tools as accessible as possible for all learners - to read more about accessibility in FeedbackFruits tools, check this article: Accessibility: Within FeedbackFruits Tools.

In this step, you can read the instructions that have been set by your teacher.

Hand in your assignment at Step 2: Hand in. You can either click select file to upload a file from your computer, or drag a file into the box. You also have the possibility to paste a website link, for example if you want to upload a Youtube video. Click submit.

Note: Ensure you upload your files as instructed (often specified just below Hand in) and before the deadline. While late submissions may sometimes be allowed by your teacher, it’s important to follow the specified guidelines. Submissions can be made in most available formats, but your teacher's instructions will typically clarify the accepted formats.

When you have handed in your work, the following screen will appear. You should see the name of your file, a green checkmark with the text hand-in received, and a bin symbol in case you want to delete a submission.

Note: you will only be able to delete a submission before the assignment deadline.

If you want, you can add more files. By clicking on your file, you can view your submission in a separate window.

In step 3, you will discuss the work of your peers. Read the instructions (if the teacher has added them), and press go to the discussion.

Note: you will have to wait until your peers have submitted their files, otherwise you can not start discussing their documents. As you can see below, you have to discuss the submissions of 2 peers, so you need to wait until you can discuss the work of 2 people before you can move on to the next step.

Let's zoom in on the work of Donald Cook (student 3 paper). You are able to write a comment and upvote the document. If you click the three dots next to the document, you can download it. If you move your move your mouse on the document (top right), it will say show. Clicking on it opens the document.

Now, you can comment in the document and place annotations. You can either annotate a certain area of the document as seen below, or annotate specific phrases in the document.

You are also able to see the comments other peers made on your classmate hand in assignment, and you can sort the comments according to your preference. Now it is sorted on location.

When you have completed your peer reviews, you can move on to the open discussion in step 4 by pressing submit.

Again, press go to the discussion to view the other works.

This screen will open. You can sort the articles. Now it is sorted on most commented on. This screen looks similar to the one in step 3 but, now you are able to view all the documents, instead of only those from your assigned peers. You can now contribute to the open discussion by placing comments and upvotes.

This is an example of student interaction where students have placed comments and reacted on other remarks and placed upvotes.

Just like in step 3, if you click on the document in the top right corner, it will open. Now you can see it with more student activity.

After (optionally) making more contributions to other works, you can go to step 5.

Here you need to reflect on the discussion. Write your reflection, press submit and you are done! You can edit until the deadline passes.

Finally, at the bottom of the assignment, the points of the grading are shown (see image below as an example).
