For this week’s assignment, I took a self-assessment in regards to who I am as a human being. I have taken many self-assessments throughout my life and assumed that this assessment would be similar to the assessments I have taken before. While some of the topics assessed today were similar or identical topics I have self-assessed previously, I had never taken a complete self-assessment until today.
After reviewing my results, a few interesting facts about myself stuck out. When I looked at all of my strengths, it was clear to me that I am a very flexible, hard-working person. My top 5 strengths were the following: Responsibility, Honesty and Integrity, Ability to adapt to change, Time Management, and Management of people (Bethel University,

I struggle with depending on others and problem solving (Bethel University, 2014). My five biggest weaknesses were the following: Critical thinking, creative problem solving, seeking support from others, focusing on one thing at a time, and retaining written information. I have witnessed some of these weaknesses in my work as I have a hard time delegating tasks to other or leaning on others for support. I tend to take on a full plate instead of reaching out the others for …show more content…

APA style is a method of properly giving reference or credit when using information to educate or inform your audience in your writing topic. According to Bethel University, “APA style was originated in 1929, when a group of psychologists and business managers got together to establish a simple set of procedures, or style rules, that would make the many components of scientific writing more consistent” (Bethel University, paragraph 1). APA is a similar referencing style to MLA that many people are familiar with using.
As a student at Bethel University, there are some challenges in utilizing the APA style consistently. For me personally, my biggest challenge is that I am not as familiar with the APA style as I am the MLA style. In high school and at my local community college, we were taught to use MLA style. I don’t believe I had heard of APA style until becoming a student at Bethel University. Also, I feel as though APA style is a little more particular and strict in citation and referencing. I believe that MLA style was easier to learn and use. I feel as though I am constantly making a mistake when citing a
APA (American Psychological Association) style is primarily used in the social science disciplines. It is formatted like MLA, and shows many similarities, but is unique in several key points.
All I had ever known was MLA so it was quite a shock when I found out I would have to learn how to cite in APA. The first thing I did when I found out how we were going to cite our papers was go to Easybib to have the website to it for me. Turns out Easybib wants you to pay them if you want your sources cited in APA format. Once I found that out I scoured the web to find a website that could do it for me. I could not find a dependable site anywhere so I had to go look in the english book on how to cite. When I got to the section on citing sources in my book I realized that this is where I should have went right from the start. The book had every type of citation you would ever have to use. But even after I found out how to properly cite my sources, it was still another question for me

This paper intends to provide a basic understanding of my individual personality and how it plays a role in my organization in the U.S. Navy. It covers the results from a self-assessment tool that uses a series of questions to identify specific personality strengths and weaknesses. It is divided into three steps. The first one, focuses on the most important personality trait results. The second, how these results play a role in my organization. And the third, how God’s Holy Spirit has worked in my life to change weaknesses into strengths. Needs work
Before I took the test I had wrote down what I thought were my strengths and weaknesses. My strengths were Hard working, Organized, strong believer and my weaknesses were impatient, not good at remembering important dates, and procrastination.
English 1302 has presented the tools to learn new skills that will be beneficial in upcoming English courses I will be taking. The first of these is learning how to write in APA format. Until taking this course, I had only been taught how to write a
For personal and professional growth, given my personality traits, I need to embrace my strengths and weaknesses. I must use my strengths to my advantage, to be more effective academically and in the workplace, but I also need to identify and try to overcome my weaknesses, especially professionally.
The first page of your APA style research paper is the point where a great deal of formatting takes place, and for clear reasons it is the primary spot where any blunders get to be glaring mistakes, so taking care of it from the begin is key.
During my initial self-evaluation and assessment of me as a perspective counselor, self- awareness was an essential aspect of becoming an effective counselor. I am aware of certain things that can prevent me from becoming a competent counselor such as being unaware of my strengths and weaknesses. As a current community support worker, I have already had the opportunity to work with individuals who require different levels of support. Providing assistance to the specific population has given me the chance to utilize my communication skills. My work experience has also allowed me to be more self-aware, and open minded. After taking the techniques of counseling class I am more than confident that I have grown professionally since the beginning
To begin, I am going to write about my weaknesses and how they transitioned into strengths. First, I remember after each assignment in class was introduced I

Throughout high school I dealt with MLA format which I never truly understood because it was not emphasized on. Now that I am in college, however, it is a completely different story. I’m not going to say that I struggled immensely with APA format, but it did take some getting used to. Instead of freewriting where formats are thrown out the window for idea creation, I had to stick with set rules on how a paper should look and how information should be organized and presented. After a few papers with the grand finale of the “research supported cause/effect essay,” citing sources and notating references seemed much easier. Being able to use different techniques to cite sources will allow my future papers to flow and allow the reader to not be bored to death. Referencing sources properly will keep my papers from being flagged as plagiarized and authors will get their due credit because I know I would not like my work to be claimed as someone else’s. With all of the writing in the future I will need to do for college and my business writing, Writing 101 has ensured a bright start for all of
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself “what have I learned this semester?” and “what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?”. Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self-evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.
Personal Effectiveness is using all of our potential resources in order to achieve both work and life goals. It is when we use all our personal resources at our disposal-talent, skills, time in order to get what we want in life. In everyday life we put so much effort to get what we want to achieve in life. We spend a large amount of our time and energy. In this world many people are working towards achieving the same goal with different costs. This is because everyone has different personal effectiveness.
A personal quality i have is the ability to improve myself whether it’s my tactics, attitude, point of view, behavior, skills, understanding. I struggle communicating the way I feel. I don’t know how to put it into words all the time. Another great quality I have is I love people I have so much love for everything I just want to help others it makes me feel good. SO back to the fact that I have a hard time describing my thoughts with words, I’m a visual learner. I’m great at communicating feelings and emotions using my body and my artistic abilities. I love studying different things I think that’s one of my biggest strengths as an actor, is that I love love love studying people and the way their minds work. It gets me excited. zI find it so fun improving myself.
