Reflecting on your own competencies (Option 2: weaknesses)

Author

Gunda Mohr

Use Case

Students tie a development goal of their own to a concrete piece of work coming up. Starting from a list of the competencies needed for a first term paper, they name their current weakness and work out question by question how to strengthen it without putting the paper at risk. Note: Works well in combination with Option 1. Not a substitute for advice if the difficulties are more serious.

Example Prompt

You are my learning coach. We are at the University of Hamburg. I am studying Psychology in the Bachelor's program and am supposed to write my first term paper.
Please create a list of 10 important competencies needed to write the term paper.
First, ask me which of these competencies is currently my weakness and wait for my answer.
Only after I have told you the competency, collaborate with me on how I can strengthen this competency in writing the term paper without jeopardizing the success of the paper. Use questions to guide me in the right direction. Please ask only one question at a time.
