Self-assessment

I am studying in Mykolas Romeris University Bachelor of Psychology. All subjects which I study are related to this profession. One of the most important subjects is ESP (English for specific purposes). I have been studying it for two terms. And now it is about time to write about my own achievements and aims.
First of all, I should mention that the most interesting and creative part for me was creation of Power Point Presentations. It took time, originality ant talking skills, so if you want to show your best, you should put a lot of effort. What is more, I was able to choose theme which is interesting for me, so my presentation was original, and as exceptional as I could imagine it. I think, it was the most enjoyable and successful performance for me.
Secondly, there were quite unordinary tests in moodle system. They were prepared to make our knowledge about modules better, as we had to look through the module if we did not know correct answer. It was not very difficult for me, but it took some time always, so it was a little bit annoying work.
Another thing I should write about is ESP definitions tests, which were written in class. It was the most difficult task for me, as performances took a lot of time. Also, there were situations when I had forgotten several definitions during my test, so mark was decreasing.
Also, we have to talk in class impromptu about modules and other things, which are related to themes we are studying about. It was interesting but sometimes it was too difficult to say what i thinking about in English. So in my opinion, Ii should talk more, as it will be helpful for me. However, it was easier to talk when I was prepared at home, as I had rehearsed my short talks before several times.
What is more, we were writing summaries. It was a little bit difficult for me in first term, but my skills are better and, I think, it is easier for me to write summaries now. My marks are higher, I do less mistakes and it takes less time to write summaries.
The last thing I am going to write is listening practise in class. I think there were too little exercises of listening, so my skills are the same as they were before. It is a little bit difficult to understand what people on record are saying, but if I take care of it, situation will change.
To sum up, I think that every practise is very important and helps me to be better performed in ESP and psychology, as when I rehearse information, I understand it better.
