think their progress, learning or language use is. See peer assessment.
Subjective assessment: When the opinion of the person marking a test is needed
to make a decision on the quality of the work being assessed. Subjective
assessment takes place when marking, for example, stories, compositions,

reliable by using assessment criteria. See objective assessment, assessment
