College Success = Career Success:
Evaluating Your Performance

This chapter described the importance of using metacognition to analyze 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, number a sheet of paper from 1 to 10 and provide a self-rating for each item using the following scale:

Never = 0

Infrequently = 1

Sometimes = 2

Frequently = 3

Always = 4

  1. Attends class (in person or online)
  2. Demonstrates a positive attitude
  3. Participates in class discussions
  4. Completes assigned readings
  5. Asks for help when necessary
  6. Sticks to a study schedule
  7. Is open to instructor feedback
  8. Checks spelling on written assignments
  9. Turns in homework on time
  10. Takes the lead in small group discussions

Now, in the text box below, 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.
