This document discusses self-reflection and peer evaluation in education. Self-reflection is introspection where students examine their own values, viewpoints, communication styles, and experiences. Peer evaluation involves students providing feedback on each other's work and contributions. Some advantages are that it encourages student involvement, responsibility, and judgment skills. However, it also increases the lecturer's workload and students may feel unequipped to do evaluations.
