1. Essay on Writing Self-Evaluation
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to
evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can
continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself "what have
I learned this semester?" and "what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?".
Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self–evaluation, developing a
plan to learn new skills.
During this semester, I have strengthened my writing by trying new writing techniques, learning
about purpose, and finding new ways of combating writers block. My first essay in this class was
less focused then the essays I wrote later in...show more content...
I have struggled with writer's block with often. In the past, I've learned to take breaks while
writing to help alleviate symptoms of writers block; however, during the semester I have learned
to carry a pad of paper with me so that I can write down idea's while they are fresh in my mind.
Writing down my thoughts has helped me avoid writers block because I have a list of thoughts
about the subject before I have even started writing. When I struggle less to write it improves my
essay's by decreasing my stress, this can be seen in my writing. I was afflicted with writer's block
while trying to write both my compare and contrast essay and my description essay, this caused
me a lot of stress and caused my essay to suffer. On the other hand, when I wrote my classify and
divide essay I did not have to deal with writer's block. As a result the stress level was greatly
decreased and the improvement is substantial.
Although my writing has made some good progress during the course of this semester, I still some
things I need to learn in order to keep improving my writing. Grammar, writing in an active voice,
and building my rewrite skills are three examples of skills I need to build upon to continue to
improve me writing.
Even though my grammar has improved during the progression of this class, I still have a lot to
learn before my knowledge of grammar can contribute to my writing. I have never had an aptitude for

2. Self Evaluation On My Papers
Self–Evaluation
This paper seemed very easy to me while I was writing it. After reading the response on the rough
draft, I have realized that I need to spend more time proofreading and editing my papers. I thought
I did very well on this paper but I was wrong. It seems like every time something seems very easy, I
usually get a poor grade on it. After viewing the tips that were left on my paper I have found out that
I need to work on many things. Some of these things include the length of my paragraphs, repetitive
use of one specific word, adding more personal experiences into my writing, and organizing my
thoughts effective enough to where they reach the page requirements of papers. I found these tips
very helpful because it has been quite a while since I have written an actual paper. I appreciate that I
have a teacher that will actually take their time on each and every paper and leave comments on how

I can enter my papers into Paperrater and get an estimate on what my grade will be like. I can also

them in. My sister has always been someone that I have gone to do some editing. She is great at
finding grammatical errors and comma placemtnet errors. I am very thankgul that I have a sister
that is so talented when it comes to writing. After viewing the corrections I have decided that I

I have discovered some interesting things I have noticed in myself before taking this course. For
example, my learning style I have noticed is the visual learning style.
With this, I prefer to see and read information to full gain comprehension. If I forget the data, or
not clearly understand it the first time read, I have the option of reading it over. I do not always
trust myself to absorb all information the first time around. I take a lot of notes to look at. Notes
help me remember even though I may not read the again, I can refer to them in my mind after
writing them down. I am not sure if just anyone reading them would get anything out of it, but at
least I know what they mean.
I like to take my time with material, but am not always given the allotted time to do so. I also like
to keep a written list of things to do to refer to. I am comfortable with my learning style, accepted
it as my very own. I am not sure if changing it this late in life is such a good idea. I have got by this
far, it must work out for me.
I have identified my personality style as being extroverted, one who becomes easily energized by
others, and outwardly expressing thoughts as long as I am fully understanding context and material
being discussed. If I have no idea what is being addressed, I am better of keeping quiet to save

If I stutter whatsoever or blatantly recognize a fault in my piece, I change it immediately. I also
wish I had less work outside of the course (such as schoolwork, housework, social events, etc.) so I
could have spent more time on my pieces for it. Some of my pieces were started only a few days
before the assignment was due, and I wished I had had more time to edit and proofread. I have
gained many insights I have gained about descriptive and narrative writing over this course. The
one that I will take the most away from the course is my realization of my own tone and voice
that I possess in my pieces and how to apply them in a narrative. I have also learned how to
develop a tone and voice for others when I am writing a piece from the perspective of them. There
are significant contrasts between characters, such as the wicked, selfish Amber and the kindhearted,
welcoming Horace from Assignment 3, and I have learned how to establish nuances in dialogue and
activity to individualize my characters. Although this insight may not apply to analytical writing, it
certainly applies to persuasive writing. Perhaps if I wanted to persuade someone in a letter, this
course helped me realize the tone I would need to establish in that letter to have him or her come to
the realization that they should do what I would like. Lastly, revision drastically strengthens my
drafts. As a writer, when I start

Self–evaluation helps me in many different setting to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses as well
as provide directions for improvements. Self–evaluation serves as a reflection of my productivity in
a given year, accomplishments and past mistakes. Self–evaluation has helped me to identify what I
need to be successful in my profession and future goals. The main focus of self–appraisals should be
positive thus promote confidence, motivation, and dedications. Leddy Healthiness Scale found in the
Appendix section of her 2006 book is my healthiness tool for this project.
Utilization of Leddy's Model for Interpretation of Self Assessment
I have a total of 150 points out of a range of 26–156 from Leddy's Healthiness Scale Tool. The
higher the number the greater is the healthiness according to the instructions (Leddy, 2006). There
was a total of 26 questions and number 4, 7,8,12,14,17,21, and 26 are reversed with positive
answers, according to Leddy (2006) as indicative of higher scores. What is Health: Leddy (2006)
defines health as a state or condition of an integrity of functioning (functional capacity and ability)
and perceived well–being (feeling well). Health protection (avoidance of risk) and health promotion
(lifestyle change) are consistent with the disease world–view, whereas healing is consistent with the
person perspective (Leddy, 2006). People are in constant motion with their environment,
consequently creating paradigms (worldview). The environment

6. Reflection On Self Evaluation
Self–Evaluation
1.The first evaluation I took this course was the Lifestyle assessment. On this assessment I scored
a 90.6, which was an excellent score and indicated that I was engaging in behaviors and attitudes
that significantly contribute to a healthy lifestyle. I am going to break down my score on regards
to the six dimensions of wellness. On the Physical Assessment I did exceptional, I scored 100
/100, and almost always did what each of the ten statements said, so I had great physical wellness.
On the Social Wellness Assessment, I scored an 79/100, lacking in the statements five, eight, and
ten, the main issue being that I am not involved in my community at all, so I scored all right on
Social wellness. On the Spiritual Wellness part, I scored 97/100, scoring lower on statement 8,
but overall, I was very spiritually well. On Emotional Wellness I scored 87/100, lacking on
statement five, six, and eight, but I think Emotional was one of my weaker wellnesses. On
Intellectual wellness I scored 90/100, weak on statements three and six, but I was still relatively
strong in my intellectual wellness. On Environmental I scored 84/100, scoring less on statement
one, five, seven, and nine. I think out of all the dimensions of wellness, personally my weakest one
is definitely Social, not only does the score show it, but my everyday life also used to show it. Some
of my social downfalls were that I was not outgoing, I had a hard time making friends, and I just
generally didn't like having conversations with people I wasn't really close with. Despite my
scores, I think my strongest wellness was Spiritual wellness, because I knew my values and
beliefs very well, and I lived by them every day. The dietary evaluation really helped my Physical
Wellness by making me more aware of the good things I was eating that were contributing to
health, as well as the bad things I was eating that were ruing my health. The stressors assignment
really improved my Social wellness, and helped me to converse more; I stopped stressing about
what people thought of me. Wellness worksheet 22 promoted my Spiritual wellness and made me
feel more at peace. Wellness worksheet 24 advanced my Emotional wellness by making me aware

7. Self Evaluation Paper
Introduction Self–evaluation is the process of evaluating yourself after completing either a project
and/or task. The purpose of the evaluation is to review the project and/or task after it is completed
to determine what was learned and if changes need to be made. Not always when someone does
something do they learn all they could have or do it correctly the first time. It is from the
self–evaluation process this determination can be made. Once the evaluation is complete the
individual can move forward and make changes if need be.

The purpose of this research by Sanderson, Kearney, Kissell, & Salisbury (2016) was to evaluate the
use of video–recorded clinical practice effectiveness in providing feedback to students and
instructors. The first objective was to assess dental hygiene students' ability to self–assess correctly.
The second objective was to determine how effective clinical instructors graded students in real time.
Self–evaluation is a critical element in the dental hygiene profession, because it allows for successful
growth and development. Twenty–seven first–year dental hygiene students completed the repeated

Before I went in to the evaluation, I wanted to collect my thoughts about how I thought I had been

had been positive. On several occasions, I had been told, "good observation" or, "I was hoping
you would pick up on that". During one instance, an OT was asking me how I would modify a
child's goals based on his progress, and I answered based on my knowledge that I have gathered
through LEND, the OT program and my personal experience. The OT I was speaking with and the
two OTs who overheard were impressed with my response and commented that I was ahead of
some of the other level I students they have had before. Regardless of this positive feedback,...show

11. 8. How do the concepts of core self–evaluation (CSE), self–monitoring, and proactive personality
help us to understand personality? Please provide your responses to each element of this question.
People with high core self–evaluations believe, "I can handle this problem." Their effect on others
while evaluating negatively or positively when evaluating others gives us an insight into
understanding personality of Individuals.' Under circumstances of managerial change, there are
reports that indicate people with high core self–evaluations are better able to cope with change. A
self–monitoring person is able to monitor their own personality within social situations. Their high
ability to monitor the social environment enables them to make an impact on people's impression of
them, effectively giving them the advantage within social situations. They become the "go–to"
person, and are rated as high performers who become leaders. Moreover, the proactive personality
is a person who has the desire to fix what they believe is wrong with their personality, and chooses
to solve their problems. Proactive people initiate meaningful change by removing the hurdles that
they face. For example, they are inclined to be majorly successful in job searches. They also take the
initiative by acquiring a better understanding of their career therefore they are more successful
within their organization. Proactive people have higher levels of performance, because their
personality helps them promptly

I walked onto the stage from the left wing only to be blinded by fluorescent lights. The audience in
front of me was a dim sea of indistinguishable figures waiting to judge my performance. The soft
murmurs from the crowd as I walked towards the chair made my heart race and my thoughts run
wild. My shaky hands held a white–knuckled grip on the neck of my guitar. I finally made my way to
the seat and promptly began playing my recital piece. A minute and a half later I rushed off the
stage full of disappointment and regret. I knew my performance was mediocre at best, and that I let
the pressure of public performance get to me. From that moment on I made the choice to always

16. Self Evaluation And Self Reflection Essay
Introduction Although personal development is an important aspect of one's life, being able to
reflect on the ground covered plays a more critical role. Primarily, self–reflection in professional
development allows one to identify milestones that have been overcome, the current state of affairs
and the projected targets. The identification of prevailing failures in the process provides a glimpse
into what needs to be changed in order for the target to be achieved within the set timeframe. The
concept of self–evaluation and self–reflection encapsulates a complex synthesis of the development
of employability skills, employability engagement, and the action plan to optimize the skills and
knowledge developed in the process of professional development. Reflection on Employability

when you truly do something about it. I have a problem with allowing myself to become attached to
girls that I have crushes on. I dream about how things could be and I imagine a relationship inside

This always tends to pose a problem because it ends up that I like this girl a whole lot more than she
likes me, not only does this sometimes scare girls but it also makes me feel bad. The conclusions I
draw from these experiences are that I am either ugly, undateable, or that a girl like this would just
never go for a guy like me. That always makes me feel depressed.
What I can do to change this behavior I have was to first acknowledge that I had it. After admitting
it I can try and realize what I am doing before I let myself get in too deep with a girl and hopefully
not mess everything up and get myself hurt. Another option
I have is to maybe talk to a counselor about how I feel and listen to what they say and have them
help me be able to handle these simple relationships.
With enough help and by me realizing the problem that I have, I feel that I should hopefully be
able to have a normal relationship or at least not obsess over girls anymore. I would love to be able
to just meet someone and have a normal, meaningful relationship without screwing it up. When I
meet a new girl I will just try and be her friend and not assume anything until there is conclusive
evidence to prove that she digs me back. I can not keep assuming things with girls and liking them

Speech to Explain: Self Evaluation
For this speech I choose to have my topic be something I have a strong personal connection to

I was not very effective in my introduction but knowing so at my conclusion I was sure to clearly
state my theme. However,I believe my concluding sentence could have been more clear. To improve
I should in the future reinstate my topics and go over key points and leave the audience with

When I look back to rough days they were generally caused because I would blame an alternative
to myself. For example, in my business 100 project we had one member who would not help. I
was frustrated and attributed him for our poor mark. I now know I should have fired him and split
up his work with the rest of the team instead of leaving it to last minute. I should have taken control
of my own fate and reasoned with the emotions I was feeling at that moment. Today I feel that I
have a much stronger EI and my LOC is improving subsequently.
Critical Discussion on the Emotional Intelligence Self–Assessment:
The correlation between these two surveys was clearly apparent and understandable. However, I
believe my moderate score in EI in the workplace is actually quite low. Working at a pharmacy for
over two and half years I feel that I have maintained a very high level of EI as per Mayer et al's
(2003) definition: "set of skills concerned with the processing of emotion–relevant information and
measured with ability–based scales" (p. 97). I have been extremely fustrated at times but I have
always kept my composure in front of the customers. Almost all of our clientel is coming to pick up
