Study Skills Self-Assessment

Objective: The student will evaluate his/her academic and personal times and develop goals to meet any needs found.

Activity: Study Skills Self-Assessment. Have the students complete a Study Skills Self-Assessment to determine their academic needs. Discuss the results. Ask the students to further examine their free times to determine whether or not they are using them effectively. Once both are complete, have each student identify three areas in which to develop goals. Ask them to write goals and make a plan with their base groups to check their progress first every day and later once a week.

Assessment: Student assessments and the goals which result provide a measure of their success in meeting the above objective.
