STUDENT SELF ASSESSMENT  
 
This section should be completed prior to starting your placement. 
 
Fill in this section before you have your initial interview with your mentor 
 
Please use the space below to identify and write down your interests or the issues you want to explore on 
this placement and to reflect upon your previous experience. You might want to wait a day or so before 
you meet with your mentor so you have the chance to think about the learning opportunities available 
within this area. You can always ‘firm up’ your ideas at the initial meeting with your mentor and, indeed, at 
later meetings. 
 
The following questions may help to get you started. 
 
  What do I want to see/do? 
  Can I build upon previously identified strengths or work on previously identified weaknesses? 
  Where do my priorities lie (bearing in mind what stage you are in your course)? 
  What help do I need to pursue my interests/the issues I’ve identified? 
  What part should I play in following up my interest/the issues I’ve identified? 
  Who should take the lead? 
 
If this is not your first placement experience, you should also use the learning opportunities you identified 
with your mentor at the end of your last placement. 
 
Students interests, strengths and areas for development (identified by the student)
