Which term describes evaluation and feedback among students?

• A. Performance
• B. Criterion-referenced test
• C. Peer Assessment
• D. Formal Assessment

Answer: (C)

Evaluating and giving feedback among students is peer assessment. In peer assessment, learners look at each other’s work, judge it against shared criteria, and offer constructive feedback aimed at improvement. This process helps students practice critical thinking, articulate why work meets or misses the criteria, and reflect on their own learning, which supports ongoing growth. It’s different from performance, which is the actual product or demonstration of knowledge a student creates. A criterion-referenced test uses specific standards to score work, usually by the teacher, rather than peers. Formal assessment refers to structured, typically teacher-led measures used for grading or accountability, not the interactive feedback between students.
