professional is being able to self-assess, to know what you need to work on to

You get to come up with an assignment just for you! Part of being a professional is being able to self-assess, to know what you need to work on to enhance your career or to put you in line for promotion/advancement in the future or just something you want to learn more about or learn how to do because it’s just so interesting to you. So, design an assignment for yourself! It doesn’t have to be related to your job either. (If you want to learn how to knit, great- that could be your assignment – really!). The assignment will include the following: Submit the assignment proposal to the appropriate dropbox. Using the example of learning to knit, your assignment proposal might look something like this: : Knitting a scarf : I would like to be able to make scarves for gifts for friends and family. Also, I need to find an activity that I can do to help me relax after a hard day at work. Knitting is also something I could take with me and work on over my lunch break or when I’m waiting for my kids to finish at soccer practice – and it doesn’t require electricity or wifi connection! The product I will present to the class as documentation of my completed assignment will be a narrated powerpoint presentation that will include the pictures I took with captions, explanation of how I determined what instructions and videos to use from all the ones I looked at, and my reflections on the process. I will bring a scarf (or scarves) I have worked on or completed.
