Individual swot analysis ppt

By this time of the semester, you have received formal and informal feedback from team members with whom you collaborated, taken eight self assessment instruments, and acquired content knowledge in multiple transferable skill areas. To conduct the analysis, take all of this information, synthesize it, and ask yourself questions about each of the four areas being examined. Pay particular attention to the things that you have that your peers don't; how are you different, unique and special? Honesty is crucial, or the analysis will not generate meaningful results.
