My Knowledge Of Different Areas

A self-assessment requires that a person take a look at him or herself objectively. Doing this can be extremely hard for a person because they have to be honest with themselves about who they are and the areas where they are lacking. Personally, I like taking assessments that are going to help me better myself and so forth. But I really did not like this assessment because of how it is set up. I prefer assessments where you are scored based on what you put and then there is a synopsis that gives some explanation or detail about what it all means.

An evaluation was achieved by interviewing the students after they completed their assessments. The interview questions were open-ended in order to facilitate a conversation regarding their feelings and thoughts regarding the various assessments they took. What they felt they learned about themselves, were the assessments informative and how will they use the information they learned about themselves to further their education, possible course selection and academic

Write a 500- to 700-word magazine article that discusses visual and verbal imagery. Include the following in your article:

I work hard to achieve goals that I set for myself. My personality allows me to include anybody to the conversation which is great for making new friends. I honestly do not care what people say about me, therefore I can ignore it and do what makes me happy. My greatest weaknesses are my loudness, my motivation, and my bluntness. Sometimes I notice that I can be loud and obnoxious, which I understand can be annoying and frustrating to those around me. I try to better myself and make sure that I am not too loud at any given time. At the same time, being loud and obnoxious is who I am and if people cannot accept that, I do not need them in my life. Sometimes I am not motivated to start homework, or even start eating healthier. I am working hard to force myself to start those sorts of things. My brutal honesty is most likely my biggest weakness. Sometimes I say what I am thinking without it going through any filter. When I say things most of the time I have no filter. I believe honesty is the best policy, however, sometimes honesty can be taken harsh. I have been trying to correct myself before I say

My weaknesses as a learner are bashfulness and test anxiety. I have concluded the anxiety was caused from being unprepared for exams. I knew subconsciously when I took an exam I was one step closer to losing the dream of a bachelor’s degree and losing my Grandmother. I’m confident and will overcome my learning weaknesses going forward. When I attended college, I was shy and didn’t raise my hand to ask questions. Today I do whatever it takes to clearly understand the subject matter and

The assessments have somewhat helped me a lot in uncovering more of who I am as a person and student. I know now that more people may share identical personalities as others. I’m assure of the ideal personality that a person in my career should have. I’ve learned to be more social with other peers so more things can get accomplished.

In searching for my weaknesses and strengths I found that the easiest to identify were my weaknesses. I also realized that I could identify more things I struggled with rather than excelling at. The biggest weakness I believe that I have is creating a closing sentence for my paragraphs. When I do create a closing sentence, they tend to be very boring. Another weakness I believe I have is my sentence grammar, such as misplacing modifiers, apostrophe usage and the lack of subject-verb agreement. My weaknesses may seem minimal but they hold massive power in creating an essay and even in everyday life!

Some of my weaknesses are in reading and typing. These two areas surprised me quite a bit. I love to read, I read in every chance I get. The other are is way typing, this also surprised my, typing is something that I practice every day. I plan to do more timed reading so I can raise my score. For the typing I plan to write more papers on the computer, so I can gradually get faster at typing. I also learned that people tend to read faster when the

After completing the Abilities Pre-Assessment form, I learned more about myself and how I view the world around me. Although I have always had a general idea of how I view myself, the assessment broke down the sections into small pieces which allowed me to evaluate myself on a different level. For example, before taking the assessment, I would have rated my general communication skills as very low because I don’t talk well in front of a large group. However, after reading the subcategories, I realized that certain aspects of communication, such as changing how I communicate so others can understand me, is something I learned to be good at when I trained other employees at my last job. In the communication section, I also learned I am a

My weaknesses were speaking, knowing what you learn, understanding technology, prioritizing, and self- esteem and confidence. I have always had issues with speaking in public with people and sometimes to people in general. I

The self-assessment test is a test to rate where you stand on certain skills. I am not really sure on how I felt with this considering I had more low numbers than high, I would have to say that I feel weakness. I learned that with taking this test I have weakness and strengths, also made me realize that I need to work on more than I thought.

What does the assessment product reveal about the student’s understanding of the content/topic? What evidence do you have to support your conclusions?

Growing up, I never really had a problem with tests. I didn’t necessarily enjoy taking them, however I—thankfully-- never got too apprehensive. I looked at them as a way to determine my intelligence, and would gladly share my scores—both good and bad—with my peers. Looking back on my perception of tests, I find that my point of view was ignorant to the fact that test scores—whether they are standardized or not—do not determine a person’s intellect.

Before diving into my perspective, the terms assessment and testing need to be defined. The textbook, Educational Testing and Measurement states that several people are now replacing the word testing with assessment as it does not have such a negative connotation attached to it nor does it sound as evaluative. The authors of the textbook use these terms interchangeably, and that is how they will remain throughout this paper. However, it is important to note the difference in testing/assessment and the assessment process. In most cases, testing and assessment indicate a single measure. Each play a small role in the assessment

I noticed that one of my weaknesses was rambling on and making my sentences either too long or too short. I fixed each one by taking words out and adding new ones to other sentences. Some of the sentences I wrote didn’t make a lot of sense, so I had to rearrange it or delete it.
