ACTIVITY 13.3
Assessing a Work Product
Learning skills: observing, recording, being non-judgmental, checking perceptions
WHY
Assessment does not involve judging (as in good or bad) but instead involves giving feedback according
to a set of determined criteria. The ability to assess the quality of a work product is a valuable skill,
often sought after and highly rewarded. The better you are at assessing, the more opportunity there is
for improving your performance in all aspects of your life. This includes the work you produce, your
relationships with people, and improvements you make to your own skill set.
