Assignment 4A: Self-Assessment

For this assignment, you give yourself a mark out of 10, based on activity and participation in the first 7 weeks of the course.

The purpose of this self-assessment at this time is to provide a chance for you to pause at just over the halfway point of the course and think about how you are doing.

You should accompany your mark with some justification. A few comments on how you think you are doing are all that is necessary. In addition, you should use the participation criteria established by your group as a general guideline.

Justification for Grade	Based on the above-mentioned participation criteria, my mark is 7/10 since I missed one group discussion and was late with comments posting. As a result, my participation in the group activity was not complete, as well as my contribution to the group effectiveness. At that, I was trying to provide insightful responses supported by the information learnt from the class readings. In addition, I delivered presentation in a timely fashion. Therefore, I consider my performance at this stage sufficient despite the fact that I have omissions. On the whole, the mark 7/10 corresponds with my achievements and demonstrates my faults that I have to address to improve my effectiveness.

I would like to express my gratitude for this excellent course and for the teacher’s work. I am very pleased due to the fact that the teacher pays so much attention to me by frequent e-mails with useful recommendations and reminders. As for my suggestions for improvement, if it is possible, I would like to have more time for posting responses for discussion sessions. I know it is rather delicate issue but since this is an on-line course, it is probable that I am not the only student with the problem of time shortage and all of us may benefit from the term prolongations.
