i really like this approach my professor does whenever he grades our final exams bc he asks US to do it. he's like "consider your effort, your final product, and my critiques about your final plate. if you were in my shoes, what grade would you give yourself?" and then he makes us explain why we think so and if we give a grade that he thinks is a lot lower than we deserve he's like "and you're sure about that?" and i dunno. it's like a neat lesson in being able to acknowledge your own shortcomings while still showing you what you were able to achieve despite your mistakes
