What kinds of evidence might you need to persuade an employer that you have particular skills and capabilities?
Select the 3 pieces of evidence you have gathered, describe them to your lecturer, label which aspects of capability/capabilities each exemplifies and describe why this is a good piece of evidence (1,000 words).
Write and submit a 1000 word report that provides your analysis and reflections about the process of self-assessment that you have undertaken and analyse the evidence you have gathered. This section relates to the pre and post skills and capabilities audit students completed as well as an overall view of the evidence collected. You are also encouraged to review your overall experience and personal change over your time at University. How have you changed?
Some questions you may wish to consider are listed below (you do not have to address all of these, they are provided for stimulus only):
Based on your completed audit tool, how accurate were your pre-activity ratings? Were there any areas where you over or under estimated your abilities? Why do you think you might have over or under estimated your abilities? OR Why do you think your ratings were accurate?
How can you improve the accuracy of your self-assessment?
What kinds of evidence did you gather? Why influenced your decision to gather these particular kinds of evidence? Looking back are there any other kinds of evidence that might help demonstrate your abilities?
What kinds of evidence might you need to persuade an employer that you have particular skills and capabilities? How could you present these?
Were some kinds of skills and capabilities easier to find evidence for than others? Which ones and why?
Were there any unexpected outcomes? Did you improve markedly in a capability that you did not anticipate?
The final reflective journal Part B is due in week 13. This is to allow students the opportunity to complete the individual reflective journal after submitting the final report.
Save one copy for yourself (you will need it again after your activity) and submit one copy to your lecturer via Turnitin by the Sunday 18th November. Please save the file in the following format before submitting:
