EVALUATING YOUR PERFORMANCE
This chapter described the importance of analyzing what went right and what went wrong after taking a test. At work, regularly evaluating your performance helps you identify strengths and weaknesses, set goals, make adjustments, and, ultimately, become a more effective, efficient, and valuable employee. In fact, you may be asked to provide a self-evaluation in a performance review or discuss your approach to self-evaluation in a job interview.
To practice self-evaluation, print out a copy of this chart and record a self-rating for each item using the scale provided.
Never | Infrequently | Sometimes | Frequently | Always |
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
____ Attends class (in person or online)
____ Demonstrates positive attitude
____ Participates in class discussions
____ Completes assigned readings
____ Asks for help when necessary
____ Sticks to a study schedule
____ Is open to instructor feedback
____ Checks spelling on written assignments
____ Turns in homework on time
____ Takes the lead in small group discussions
Choose two behaviors you rated lower than the others, and describe the steps you’ll take to increase your ratings in the next two weeks. Turn in this self-evaluation to your “supervisor” (your instructor) for feedback.
