COMMENTS / PROPOSALS:
Briefly reflect upon the
assessment, including ideas
to improve your employability
skills
Through this review I can see the employability skills that I am good at and the
skills I need to improve in such as, problem solving and self-improvement. To
do this, I can take more responsibilities in group work scenarios to try do better
under pressure as well as try be as independent as possible during my
research project and make sure to solve problems without help from my
supervisor.
