Question: Skills Self-Assessment and Reflective Assignment:
REMEMBER THAT THIS ASSIGNMENT IS ABOUTYOU. USE THE FIRST PERSON (I) IN YOUR WRITTEN WORK. DO NOT WRITE ABOUT "PEOPLE" IN GENERAL TERMS.
Sometimes the assessment will ask you to do something that you have not experienced, such as "Think of a full-time job you have had." In these cases, adjust - think of a part-time job, or some other situation that you can relate to the questionnaire.

Part I: Analysis (3-4 pages) or more
