High School English Classyour Engl 101 Santa Ana
I have already done my research proposal. My final essay is base on this research, but
the professor had his comment about this research. (Please, see my attached file for this research)
His comment: ” Peer and Self Assessments are incorporated into most courses already, and I’m not really seeing the problem here. The terms are rather vague. What exactly do you mean by peer and self evaluation. What if the student who are better do not want to teach the student who are weaker? What happens if students who are weaker are not receptive to other students teaching them? And what level of education dopes this apply to: elementary, middle school, high school, college? How can educators maintain standards? Are there difficulties employing these method in online education? So this topic needs a lot more specifics.”
Please, help me to fix this and complete my final essay.
Here is a guide line for final essay:
