The three most common prefixes from the list are re-, com-/con-, and in-.
Re- is one of the most productive prefixes, appearing in thousands of words. It's found in resilience and resolution on your list, but it's very common in words like return, rebuild, and repeat.
Com-/Con- is a variant of the Latin prefix meaning "together with" and is a key component of many English words. In your list, it's found in communication and conflict resolution, and is also used in words like connect, commit, and compose.
In- can have two different meanings: "in, into, or on" or "not." It's used in words like intelligence, but also in incorrect, inactive, and inside.
The three most common roots from the list are -ject-, -dic-, and -solut-.
-ject- comes from the Latin word for "to throw" and is the root of many words. In addition to subject, it's found in common words like project, inject, and reject.
-dic- comes from the Latin word for "to say" or "to speak." It's in predicate and also in very common words like dictate, dictionary, and predict.
-solut- is from the Latin word for "to loosen" or "to solve." It's found in resolution and also in words like solution, dissolve, and absolute.
The three most common suffixes from the list are -ation, -ion, and -ed.
-ation is a highly common suffix used to form nouns from verbs, indicating a process or result. It's found in capitalization, abbreviation, salutation, and communication. Other examples include organization, creation, and information.
-ion is another very common noun-forming suffix. In your list, it's found in resolution and communication. Other examples include action, emotion, and opinion.
-ed is one of the most frequent suffixes because it is used to form the past tense of almost all regular verbs. It's in self-paced and mastery-oriented on your list, and in nearly every verb in the past tense like walked, played, and talked.

We had the most trouble with Teamwork, Communication, Conflict Resolution, and Emotional Intelligence. Many students scored very low on these.
With Resilience, some students did well, but the average was still low.
Scores got much better with Attention to Detail, Collaboration, and Work Ethic. About half the class scored 100%.
We did the best on Time Management, Adaptability, Creativity, and Self-Motivation. Almost everyone understood these words.
The strongest word was Problem Solving. Most students got it correct, and the class average was the highest.
