Take the Writing and Publishing Skills Assessment Now

Instructions

For each row of the assessment, mark one box indicating whether:

  • You have already developed the skill enough for your future career plans (right),
  • Expect to develop the skill as part of your program (center), or
  • Need to find additional resources to support developing the skill (left).

After completing the assessment, save your results and return to this page to identify the resources you need.  You should also plan to speak with an advisor in your department or group about your progress on the skills you've identified as "expect to develop."
