Completing your Self-Assessment
Firstly, rate yourself against each element of the listed attribute by giving yourself a score (1-3). Do not worry if you score 1 or 2 for any or all of these. The point of this self-assessment is to provide you with a base from which to develop. There is often a tendency to either over or underestimate your own abilities, so looking for ways to measure and validate your self-assessment can helpful. For example, you can discuss it with someone close to you.
1 = I need to develop this
2 = I am competent at this
3 = I am highly proficient at this
Next, think about what evidence you have for giving yourself these scores. Where does this evidence come from (what is its context)? Did you demonstrate the attribute on your course (e.g. through a particular unit, group activity, or assessment?), beyond your course (e.g. through co-curricular activities or workshops?) or outside university (e.g. a part-time job, caring responsibilities or experiences with organisations outside of university)? It can be helpful to have a mix of evidence of each attribute – this shows how you can apply your skills in a range of contexts.
