Assignment 2: Reflecting on Your Skills, Goals, and Accomplishments

Due: Week 4

Points: 100

Note about this assignment:

To ensure students are properly placed into the English courses that  will best set them up for successful college writing, it is customary  for students to have their writing skills assessed. For students without  transfer credit for college-level English courses, the writing you  provide in Assignment 2 will be assessed to determine whether you should  be placed into ENG090 or into ENG116. This review of your writing will  not affect your grade on the assignment or the overall course; your  instructor will grade Assignment 2 based on the rubric for the course,  which is separate from the writing review.

What to submit/deliverables:

• Word document that contains Parts 1‐3 of the Assignment 2 Template.

What is the value of doing this assignment?  In this assignment, you will reflect on the qualities, values,  strengths, areas of improvement, and accomplishments that capture who  you are and how they connect to the 10 Skills and your personal,  academic, and professional goals. You‘ll then practice your  communication skill by writing about what you‘ve identified in ways  appropriate for a CV or résumé (you will not need to complete a résumé).  You‘ll use this information in Assignment 3 to create an action plan  for developing skills that will help you reach your future goals. After  completing this assignment, you will have a document you can bring to  the Career Center where counselors can help you further develop your  career strategy.

Your goal for this assignment is to:

• Reflect on and communicate your skills, goals, and accomplishments. To  truly develop your communication skill it is important that you write  using your own words and do not cut and paste from the Skills Definition  table or any other source.

Steps to complete:

In Week 4, complete and submit your assignment using the following steps:

• STEP 1: Complete the four questions in Part 1: About Me, reflecting on your values, aspirations, key qualities, goals, strengths, and areas of growth. For questions 2, 3, and 4 in Part 1, make sure to write five or more complete sentences for each.
• STEP 2: Complete the three steps in Part 2: Accomplishment Statements  by reflecting on your past accomplishments, using the template to  identify the challenges, actions, results, and details, and then writing  two series of concise statements using the example accomplishments  formatting provided.
• STEP 3: Complete the four-question reflection in Part 3: Reflect on Your Experiences, considering Parts 1 and 2 of this assignment and the connections you have made to the 10 Skills.
• STEP 4: Save the template with your completed  responses as a Word file titled Your Name, WRK100_Assignment 2  Reflection and submit it in Blackboard in Week 4.
