Homework Assessment Sample (how to format Homework Assignments #1-12)
Homework Assessment #1 Example (CORRECT EXAMPLE)
This assessment was about interpersonal communication competence. It evaluated motivation, knowledge and skill of the communicator.
My overall score was 86 which means that I have high level of competency in communicating with others in an interpersonal setting.
Motivation: 22 Knowledge: 26 Skill: 38
These results are not unusual for me because I like to interact with others and am generally a friendly person. I’ve also been told by others that I’m a good communicator because I am able to start and maintain a conversation while also listening to the other person.
For example, it is easy for me to talk to strangers and make friends with them. I also believe that in order to be successful that you need to be a good communicator. Earlier today when I was in class we were told to get into groups and I was able to get everyone in the group talking by sharing my work experience with them.
Use the same format for ALL Homework Assessments (they will all be assessing something different). But, you need to address the same four items:
1. This assessment was about ….
2. My overall score was …
3. These results are …….
4. For example,……..
REMEMBER DO NOT INCLUDE THE ACTUAL ASSESSMENT!
