Once you have completed this audit you need to write a brief report of at least two paragraphs that gives an overall impression of what your main strengths and weaknesses are in approaching the coursework unit.


I personally believe that I am good at working in a team and will be able to make positive and valuable contributions. I also believe that I am very good at understanding and appreciating others ideas and developing them for the better of the team.
However I am very confused and lack the technical ability to be good or adequate at using the blogger or generally most Macromedia products. I am also quite rusty when it comes to Media terminology, however this can be easily overcome.
