Self -checks can be developed for a mid point in the course, or as a pre-curser activity before a mid term or final exam. 

Self-checks can also take the form of reminders for students. The nature of the self check is dependent on the course design. Some example reminders: Have they been actively posting to the discussion board; have they selected their essay topic; are they participating in the group project…etc.
