Management and Leadership Self-Assessment Reports (“Self-assessment”)
In this assignment students are required to demonstrate how the course material has helped them improve their management and leadership competencies.

Students are required to complete three entries in their Management and Leadership Self-Assessment Reports. In each entry, which can be no more than two pages long, students will identify a
management and leadership competency in which they believe their skill can be improved. They will then explain how they have used course material while working on their applied project to improve
their skills. Put another way, students must demonstrate how they have used course material in executing their applied projects and how the course material has improved their management and
leadership effectiveness.

Each entry in the Management and Leadership Self-Assessment Report must include the following sections (include these subsection headings in each of your three entries):
1. Competency (identify the competency you are discussing (e.g., communication))
2. Developmental Need (explain why you think you are weak in this area or could stand to improve. Actual examples should be provided, not general descriptions).
3. Course material (identify the course material you experimented with to improve in this area).
4. Application (explain clearly how you actually implemented the course material. Always provide details of concrete examples).
5. Outcome (explain the positive or unintended negative outcomes associated with your implementation of the course material. Negative outcomes are fine because they represent learning on the
path to success. Again, provide concrete examples).
6. Implications (outline briefly what you believe are the specific implications of improving in this competency)
You’ll find the grading form for the Management and Leadership Self-Assessment Report on the course website along with a sample report. Important: Although this assignment is due towards the end of
the course, do not begin working on it then or you’ll find the end of the course overwhelming. It is recommended that you write one entry every few weeks as you learn about the relevance of the
course material while executing your project. Summary: this assignment includes three, two-page entries, so the total assignment will be no more than six pages long. The deadline for the assignment
is indicated in the course schedule. The assignment should be uploaded to the appropriate dropbox on our course site as a single file.

To encourage you to not wait too long before working on them, I will be happy to review a point-form entry or discuss your self-assessment assignment until two weeks before they are due. I won’t
discuss or review self-assessments within two weeks of the due date.
