Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 7.0

The essay maintains a clear supportive position and develops two relevant benefits of student evaluation: improved teaching and stronger mutual understanding. Its argument is coherent, but some evidence is asserted rather than convincingly explained, and frequent collocation, agreement, and clause errors reduce precision. Strengthen the causal reasoning around discipline and revise awkward academic vocabulary instead of using sophisticated words whose meanings do not fit.
