I have started filling in the self assessment and peer assessment proforma. I have been an advocate of informal peer assessments for some time but this is the first time I've been involved in formal self and peer assessment.
There is a clash between comparing myself with my peers ( she is better at me at doing X so I must give myself a lower mark) and sticking to criteria (she is better than me but I still think I meet the criteria and should therefore get the same mark).
Add to that my naturally modest and self-effacing personality and you can see that I'm not finding it easy to be objective.
Maybe peer assessment is more of a formative than a summative tool?
