Self-Assessment

My assessment process gives the student the opportunity to self-assess himself or herself. It gives you the chance to find out how you are doing and what you need to work on. You need to learn how to monitor your own progress by asking yourself:

Where am I at?
Where am I going?
What do I need to do to get there?

By teaching you how to think and not what to think you will develop strong values and confidence to make better decisions.
