What is the idiom, expression or phrase for when you as a student are asked to check your own answers or...
This idiom, expression or phrase would usually be used in a sarcastic manner. Consider the following exchange:
Lazy art teacher: Students, have you completed the painting test?
Students: Yes, teacher.
Lazy art teacher: Now that you have completed it, I want you to go ahead and check your own painting and give your self the grade.
The point is that the lazy teacher cannot let the children do their own assessment and come up with a fair outcome.

The art teacher might believe that reaction to artistic works is subjective and therefore art is not subject to grading because there are no objective standards to judge it by. Or the art teacher might believe that the artist is the best judge of his or her own work. So it depends on the idea you wish to express with this phrase. Is it "grade yourself, I'm too lazy" or "grade yourself, you're the best judge" or "grade yourself, there's no way I could possibly assign a fair grade"?

I think this could be an attempt to get the student to stand back and look at / think about their work more objectively: to try and see it as someone else might. So, if this isn't just a complaint about "lazy" teachers, the phrase you might want is "self-assessment".
