Ten Things...Student Self-Assessment
I encourage you to consider the "Ten Things..." listed above, asking yourself how many of them you are consistently doing.
Give yourself a 1.0 or a 0.0 for each item on the list. Then, total them to see how close you get to ten. If you would like to give yourself a 0.5 for one or more items on the list, that is up to you.
