Progress Assessment

How do you follow progress for a class that is supposed to teach you about yourself?

Maybe the answer relates to how many bad habits you have broken or new things you have discovered. If that is indeed the answer then I have been tracking my growth through this blog.

I throughly enjoyed the candy assignment as well as the career path introductions with our guest speaker. I feel that these things have helped me understand more about who I am as well as how I relate to other people. I got to interact and document the new findings about my classmates (the very people I see everyday). It allowed me to see how people perceived me. The career path introductions had me thinking more about my future. I believe after that day I constructed a 5yr plan for the first time in my life. I wanted some direction.

I didn't really enjoy the strengths and weaknesses essay for many reasons. One thing would be that it was hard to identify my own flaws for others to read let alone write it in a essay form. The other thing I didn't like was the way I had to express my strengths and weaknesses. I would have rather somehow shown what my strengths & weaknesses were than put them in an essay.

If I had more time I would work on how much effort I put into personalizing my blog and getting everyone reading it. I don't think it rightly shows my personality but I guess that's okay.

The progress I have made this semester is strongly relate back to my strengths and weaknesses. For one, I still have the same strengths and weaknesses but I did learn a little how to make them work in my favor. I didn't feel as hindered by own characteristics this time around.
