Self+Assessment+Guidelines

**WRITTEN ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES** After watching your performance on videotape a couple times, write a self-assessment of your performance. It should be typed, 400-600 wds, using Times New Roman 12-point font. Follow these guidelines.
 * ORAL PERFORMANCE**
 * General Expectations:**
 * Use manuscript form. See the //Keables Guide// (available in hard copy through the bookstore or on-line through the Iolani website).
 * Write carefully so that your assessment is free of errors, uses proper grammar and punctuation, and has correct spelling and punctuation.
 * Compose your assessment on GoogleDocs. Be sure to date and title each assessment and keep one GoogleDoc file for ALL of your assessments. Put the newest assessment at the top. I will comment and give a grade directly in the doc. Be sure to save all comments and do not overwrite anything.

This Self Assessment is due via GoogleDocs **WITHIN TWO** **DAYS of your PERFORMANCE**. You will receive a penalty if it is late and assessments will not be accepted if they are more than two days late. If you have a conflict that makes it difficult for you to watch your tape during these two days, let me know. The assessment will be instrumental in your improvement, especially if you give it thought.
 * Specific Expectations:**
 * Begin with an introduction that establishes what you plan to do in the assessment.
 * Critique the __delivery__ of your performance. Consider poise, rate, volume, vocal and nonverbal expression, articulation, eye contact. Use one paragraph for what you did well and one paragraph for what you feel needs improvement.
 * Critique your __selection__. Consider why you chose it and whether or not it was a good choice for you and for this assignment.
 * Discuss the __impact__ the selection and performance of it had on you as a performer. Consider any insights you may have gained and/or how significant the performance was for you.
 * Reflect on what you __learned__ through this performance. Consider **specific areas for improvement** (focus on two or three specific delivery areas you plan to work on and what you plan to do to improve them), what **obstacles** you overcame, and what you **gained** as a performer.
 * __Grade yourself__. What do you think you deserved for this performance and why?
