Deposition Reflection

  

Take a moment and think about the nine different criteria you just self-assessed. What are your strengths? Where could you use some improvement? Please write approximately 500 words identifying your strengths and developing a plan to improve your weaknesses. Be specific in which characteristics/traits that you need to improve and how you will improve your weaknesses. Saying “I will do better” is not a plan. Saying “I will set my alarm clock early and plan to be at class 15 minutes early” when you have a problem with punctuality is a plan.
