ACC100: Assessment 1 – Template
Use this template document as a guide to how you set out your submission.
Section 1 – Personal Insights and Capabilities (600 words equivalent)
Draw on your SuperStrong activity-tool and complete the Personal Insights and Capabilities Table below (see instructions in each box).
Note: Students who have failed this unit previously should update this table by completing a ‘new’ SuperStrong activity and updating all areas. You may draw on feedback from your previous assessment.
Personal Insights and Capabilities Table
Top 3 Skills from Skills Audit
Areas for Improvement – additional skills required for aspirational roles
Academic Interests – consider study areas you enjoy or where you have done well (you may wish to include grades and projects)
Personal Interests – complete or update this section to reflect what you enjoy doing or find fulfilling
Skills and Capabilities Reflection:
Write a 450-word (+/- 10%) reflection that draws on your Personal Insights and Capabilities Table.
Critically review your strengths and weaknesses to arrive at a conclusion about your capabilities, skills, values, knowledge and interests as they relate to roles relevant to your course. Conclude by considering the results of your SuperStrong activity in relation to your strengths, weaknesses and possible career choice.
Section 2 – Career Thinking (600 words +/- 10%)
Using information gathered from (traditional/obvious, related and open) positions of interest to you, reflect on your career readiness. Base your discussion on academic and extracurricular opportunities you identify as needing to participate in to incrementally build your experiences and/or to address any skill gaps. Consider what factors hinder or support your ability to take advantage of developmental opportunities you have identified ‘Within Deakin’ and ‘Outside of Deakin’.
TIPS: The weekly content offers examples of experiences in which you may want to engage to assist your development. Reflective writing should critically analyse and evaluate how you will apply what you have learnt to assist in building for your future (e.g. identify any changes or improvements needed or what actions you will take as a result of your new knowledge about the changing workforce etc.).
Deakin’s study support services also offer guidance on reflective writing.
