Objective: To encourage students to reflect on their own experiences with performance appraisals and to engage with the topic on a personal level.
Instructions:
Pair Up: Find a partner sitting next to you. Preferably, try to engage with someone you don't know well.
Share Experiences: Take five minutes each to share a performance appraisal experience—either as an appraiser or an appraisee. Consider discussing:
Note Key Takeaways: After sharing, together write down one positive aspect and one negative aspect you encountered in your experiences.

Understanding these elements will not only enhance your knowledge as future managers and team leaders but will also help you navigate your own career development.
