I would like for you to copy and paste the most recent skills set objectives for the chapter that you are either currently covering, or have just finished covering. (The skills set objectives can be found on the blog under each class overview.)

Next to each skill, you should rank your comprehension of the skill by assigning it a value of:

1 - I do not know how to do this.

2 - I need to practice this.

3 - I can do this.

4 - I could teach this.
