Professional Skill Building
The faculty Assessor will provide feedback based on the following Professional Skill(s): Written Communication, Information Literacy, Inquiry & Analysis, and Technology. Although the feedback is here to inform the development of your skills, it is not a barrier to achieving the Competency, unless the writing is too poor to be able to score the content of the Assessment. Review the rubric and check your work based on the learning objectives listed. If you are concerned that you will not meet these expectations yet, reach out to your Coach so he or she can work with you to further develop these important professional skills.
