 Please take this opportunity to reflect on your own strengths and weaknesses. This activity is designed to help you plan your learning objectives for the upcoming academic year. Realizing that we all have strengths and weaknesses, please assign a number from 1 to 12 next to each of the attributes listed in the table below. The number 1 should be assigned to your greatest strength and the number 12 to your greatest weakness. The numbers 2 to 11 then will represent the move from relative strengths to relative weaknesses, respectively. Use a number only once and use every number from 1 through 12. Please note that there are only 10 attributes listed to enable you to add two that are essential for you and that may not be part of the given list.
