For this, you do not have to come into the school. Instead, you must complete an assignment on our e-learning site that must be submitted through the drop box by Friday January 17, 2014. 

 
On our e-learning site (rcdsb.elearningontario.ca), please complete Module 5 – Activity 2 (Self-Assessment) and submit your work to the drop box.

Overview

---

This activity will give you an opportunity to reflect on your learning to this point and to assess your own performance. 

Expectations

---

• Reflect on and analyse your placement experiences
• Reinforce the job-skills theory acquired in the classroom and the skills, techniques and principles learned at the placement

Assignment

---

Complete the following assignment and submit your work to the Unit 5 - Activity 2 - Self Assessment drop box. 

From your observations of supervisors and fellow employees, from your knowledge acquired during pre-placement and from your own reflections and analysis, think about what you can do to become a more "valuable employee" at your co-op placement.  Include thoughts on your employability skills (skills, attitudes, behaviours), your communication skills, work ethic, etc.  Try to be as specific as possible & think about qualities that are more important in your placement than they might be elsewhere.   

We all have room for improvement.  What are some of the skills, qualities, attributes, etc. where you feel that improvement is required (list at least three)?  How could this help improve your performance at your current co-op placement?  Realizing that we have to improve is one thing, but making it happen is another.   What is you plan for making these changes (be specific - don't just use a general "I will try harder" statement). 

Reflect on your performance and achievements so far at your placement.  What mark (use either a percentage grade or a level grade) would you give yourself for your work?  You must defend your decision with supporting evidence.
