  •

      Not in refs
  • This activity encouraged the learners to be self critical of their work as well as to be proud of their achievements.  By then getting them to formalise this in writing lead to a clarity in individual progress, including an understanding of the learning process itself.

What data do I need to make an informed decision about this problem? Is this the most efficient way to accomplish this task?
