Awareness of one's actions is a component of self-evaluation. Noticing a breach of sterile technique during performance of a clinical skill is an excellent example of self-evaluation. "The other student forgot to use a bath blanket" describes evaluation of one student by another. "The staff nurse was abrupt with the resident" describes evaluation of a staff nurse by another person. "It was nice to be complimented by my instructor" is a reflection of feelings associated with being complimented, not self-evaluation.
