Instructions : Just as Shindler (2010) recommends the importance of accountability and responsibility in learning, it is highly suggested that you complete all steps for your own growth and learning.

1. Apply directions that follow each heading below. Do not change or delete any of the headings. Refer to the assignment instructions to determine the content to place under each heading.

2. Have a peer provide feedback on your paper and complete the Peer-Feedback Form. You may ask a fellow learner or someone you work with to complete the form. Include the complete Peer-Feedback Form with this assignment.

3. Carefully complete self-assessment requirements by following the steps in the Process of Self-Assessment section. The idea behind the use of the Self-Assessment of Competencies rubric is to assist you in critically analyzing your work and identifying assignment criteria that align to overall competency outcomes. Criteria for steps 3 and 4 will be key to completing assignment expectations.

4. Delete these instructions and any references that do not apply to your assignment. Your assignment will be returned if the instructions are not deleted and/or references do not align with references in your assignment.

Rubric Instructions: Self-Assessment of Competencies

The idea behind rubrics is to assist you in critically analyzing your work and ability to meet competencies that are aligned to criteria on the rubrics. With self-assessment and reflection of the criteria on the rubric prior to submission, you will have a solid idea of your competency and quality of work. Regular use of self-assessment as a way to reflect will improve your writing and target assignments toward your instructor’s expectations. 

You will use the same rubric that the instructor uses for each assignment. You will grade your own assignment using the rubric, as will your instructor. After submission, your instructor will compare the two rubrics. If they match, you will earn extra points. However, in the end, your instructor’s assessment will be the one that counts.

Process for Self-Assessment

1. Think critically about your work before filling out the rubric. So, be honest in your appraisal of your work.

2. Use this assignment template and rubric. Upload to the appropriate assignment area.

3. Assess your assignment according to the rubric. Include comments that share how your assignment meets the level you chose along with evidence from your assignment. Boldface words, phrases, or parts in your assignment that you feel support your level choice and comments.

4. Refer to the boldface when you type your comments in the comments column. This becomes evidence of how you have demonstrated your competency related to the chosen level.

5. Your instructor will assess using the same rubric; if the rubrics match, you will earn extra points.
