• No, because students were only given the opportunity to use the rubric after the essay is graded.

• No, because students didn’t have the opportunity to develop the assessment rubric.

• No, because the teacher carried out the assessment rather than the learners themselves.

In the self-regulation rubric, which of the following would be considered effective feedback?
