David, Self assessments are tricky. I mean, they are for me at least. Especially when it comes to writing. Whenever I write something, especially something creative, I generally go through the same process; While I'm writing it I enjoy the ideas that I am coming up with, and I think that what I have created is really good. I even feel pride, or at least something resembling it, when I re-read it for the first time. However, this feeling fades away after about five minutes, and I am overcome with shame and self-loathing. I thought my script was utter garbage when I first turned it in, so I was pleasantly surprised when you said that it was pretty good. When others laughed at it during the table read, I was relieved. After all that, I think
By first doing the self-assessment, I had somewhat of an understanding as to where I lie on the
However, where is your creativity coming from? It must be in your memory. Something that you see, you learned, you have felt. You might unable to figure out when and what impress you, but they will keep in your mind.
I can relate to your struggle in identifying the differences between the three terms, although being in the health care field my entire professional career. Analyzing the differences can take a while to process as referring to such terms has become systematic. It is fascinating hearing about your organization as I have not been exposed to the mental health sector of healthcare in my career. It is interesting that your organization provides anonymous self-assessment screenings, I assume it is anonymous due to the stigma associated with mental health issues. It seems as though health care is the focus of your organization, by pursuing overall societal health through the use of health services such as the self-assessments and outpatient clinics.

Self-assessments help individuals understand and focus on their best qualities that are unique to them but also show awareness of the areas that are possible opportunities for growth. Self-assessments can be broken down and categorized with many options for results. When completing the self-assessment I discovered that my three areas of strength were demonstrating a willingness to understand the perspectives of others through verbal and non-verbal communication. Second, identifying and working towards personal goals. Lastly, demonstrating awareness of behavior and adjusting accordingly in response to changing situations.
When I write, I would say that I identify my ideas as my own and a part of who I am. In the Threshold Concept 4.1 Test is an Object Outside of Oneself, it encourages the writer to see their writing as something that is no longer a part of the author, but something that the author can now manipulate independent of person. This is an important concept for me to learn because there are times where I try to explain my opinion while assuming that the reader may not have the same knowledge as me or the people in my field. In concept 4.4 Revision is Central to Developing Writing, I could evolve into a better writer through the process of taking revision seriously. I should also feel proud of my work when people have revisions to make because I’m only
Self-Evaluation on Counselling Session (One) Session start with a warmth greeting, by asking client ‘How can I address you?”, to be honest I felt nervous at the beginning of the session, too focus or particular on the name of client, client actually felt uncomfortable. I can just follow the flow and address whatever name client point out and start with small talk will be a good idea such as asking about his experience of travelling to the centre for his counselling session. Thereupon, I briefly explained the length of time of the session, confidentiality and the limitation. I believe that I deliver a clear message to the client.

Fear washes over me, because I know that if I mess up, everyone in the room will know it. The fear leaves as I hear the loud and rowdy laughter of the audience, who are clearly enjoying the performance. I feel pride, because I know that our hard work has been a success, and instead of worrying, I can be proud of what we have done. The lights go off, then come back on, and we bow to the thunderous applause erupting from the audience like a roar from a ferocious lion. I know then that I have been apart of something great: a tiny, low-budget theatre performing a play that achieved
Psychological care: According to Thomas (1995), Jones & West (1995) and Crowe, et. al (1996) the link between depression and increased mortality has led to increased concern about a patient’s psychological well being in the repercussion of having a MI and losing their love ones. Nurses play a major role in monitoring the psychological status of such patient’s. However, there is limited evidence of the best methods of providing psychological support.
Final Self-Evaluation My time in Denny’s Freshmen Year Experience class has been very helpful and resourceful. When deciding our grade for the past semester, Denny asked us to grade ourselves based on how we think we did on class assignments, participation, and attendance. I believe this is a great way in which students can look back over the past semester and really see how much effort they actually put into the class. I believe that I put a lot of effort into the past semester and my goal next semester is to do even better and flourish in the topics or assignments that I might not have done every well on last semester. I like to take pride in the fact that I did attend almost every lecture and seminar.
This year in government class I have been able to completely locate myself on the political spectrum. Although fourth period is where I connected the final pieces to my political puzzle, I discovered a lot about my ideology when I was younger. This was due to the fact that my family constantly discussed politics and the people in government. They even talked a lot about current events and gave their opinion on the event (how they were handled, why they happened, if they agree with the situation, etc.). When I was finally able to grasp what the term politics meant, I discovered my fascination with discussing political issues with my friends/ co-workers.
The Math Assessment involved interpersonal skills because in this assessment we had a partner to complete this assessment. We both needed to work on a garden plan which was similar to the garden plan project but involving what we learned over the quarter. The assessment on one person would take too long. Though, if two people worked on it together, the test will be done faster. So, this assessment involved a lot of interpersonal skills.

Throughout the years of studying abroad, I have put significant efforts in achieving extensive experience and knowledge in communication skills to apply them to my future career. However, after reading the textbook and doing the self-assessment test, it clearly shows that my communication skills have left much to be desired. Even though I possess some strengths, such as emotional stability, good active listening skills, and empathy, I am aware that there are some areas that require substantial improvements. I also find that these attributes can also be my weaknesses, ironically.
