Assignment overview

Purpose

 

The purpose of this project is to continue the work from CLP1 & SMART goals as it relates to competency development.  You will demonstrate your development of an Undergraduate Competency and share this learning using the Gibbs Reflective Learning Cycle.  Unlike content or knowledge development, competency development is about change in behaviour.  Through your UGC Assessment in the pre-work you will identify which competency has the opportunity for development and work with your professor to develop a S.M.A.R.T. goal that will explain what competency you are developing.

 

 

Instructions

There are 4deliverables associated with this assignment worth a combined value of 25% of your final grade, each with their own rubric:

 

 

Considerations

Identifying your goal: in addition to your assessment, think about:

  • Look at your work placement (co-op) or workplace feedback, is there an area that was identified for improvement?
  • Is there something outside your educational discipline (HR, Supply Chain, Marketing, Finance, Accounting) that you are curious about and would like to learn more about?
  • Do you have any development goals from CLP1 that you would like to enhance or revisit?

 

Duration of the project

  • See SLATE for due dates. Therefore you will have 7-8 weeks to develop this competency

 

  • Note: Development of Leadership & Communication competencies are exempt from this assignment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 – UGC Development – Discussion Board Posting #1 (5%)

 

Purpose

Based on your Undergraduate Competency (UGC) Assessment or feedback received in the workplace, identify the focus of your development project.  Explain why it’s important to you.

 

Provide feedback to your peers that will help them to improve their goal.

 

Instructions

Submission type: Posting on Discussion board

Based on the exercise (pre-work) you did assessing your Undergraduate Competencies  answer the following questions about your Development Project on the discussion board:

 

  1. What competencyand specific behaviour(s) are you working on for this project (for example: Initiative: Have a stretch goals and act on them)?
  2. How will you demonstrate that you have developed this competency? (your project)
  3. Explain why you want to develop the competency/sub-competency (specific behaviours)and how you think that this project will stretch your abilities?
  4. What information (research) do you still need to be successful in your development journey?
    1. Identify 1-2 research questions that will help you better understand your development of this competency
  5. Write a draftM.A.R.T. goal for your competency development. Remember, a S.M.A.R.T. goal should be a single sentence.  (Refresher resources are available on SLATE).

 

NOTE: this assignment is about demonstrating your ability to develop the competency, not the details of the project.

Applying your Written Communicationcompetency, provide feedback to 2 other students on their posts.  Your goal is to help them improve their plan, be sure to give them specific ideas on how to do that.  Feedback that is kind will not suffice.

 

Important note regarding Discussion Board Deliverables:

  • Unlike the other assignments, this assignment will not be accepted past the posted due date because of its dependency on other student deliverables
  • Approval from your professor must be obtained before moving forward
  • Development of Leadership & Communication competencies are exempt from this assignment

 Future assignment tip à UGC Development Project

·         Incorporate your self-assessment and the impact it had on your development journey

·         An update on what happen with your initial plan and how you progressed against it (weekly activities & goals to reality).  What happen and why?

·         Remember the audience of the final audience of your CLP, it’s not your professor, it could be someone in industry.   Set the tone accordingly.  Example: “In CLP1my strengths finders was…”  vs “through a professional assessment, I discovered my strengths…”
