Personal Motivation Assessment

This short but clarifying course offers students an opportunity to increase their self-awareness. Who doesn't want to study or work in a place that offers fulfillment and satisfaction? Working with a method for motivational analysis, students find out more about their intrinsic motivation. Knowing your motives serves as a compass to support making conscious study and career choices. Students work through a few intens practical sessions on the creation of valuable personal criteria that their study, internship, job or profession should meet in order to be able to study and work in a motivated way.

NOTE: This course overlaps with ELS68300 (identifying your motivation MOS), YMS32306 (Professional Profile), YNH20301 (Personal Motivation Assessment BVG), YFN20301 (Self Assessment for BBN students) and FTE24806 (a part of the course engineering design).
