Assessment Type: Reflective Journal - individual assessment – 1500 words.

Purpose: The individual reflection report is designed to allow students to evaluate their growth in 

knowledge and skills throughout the subject. It is designed to encourage students to take ownership of 

their learning, their performance and their outcomes. This assessment contributes specifically to Learning 

Outcome a, b, c and d.

Value: 20% Due Date: 5:00 pm Sunday of Week 11

Submission: Upload a soft copy - .doc or .docx to Moodle & Turnitin

Task Details: Students need to write a reflection report discussing and analysing any two topics explored in 

this course. Students are required to discuss not only their understanding of the topics, but also the 

implications for their current/future role in business or work. Not only should critical thinking be 

demonstrated in the reflection, students should also provide their opinions, ideas, thoughts and feelings on 

the topics explored.

Students who maintain a reflective journal (see below) will find this assessment very rewarding and have 

substantial data to support their reflections. The report is to be reflective and evaluative (use referenced 

theory), and it is important that you offer critical insight. 

Consider the following when writing a reflective journal:

1. Describe the events and your experience – What did I do/hear/see?

2. Interpret and evaluate the events from your perspective – What do I think about it now? How does it 

relate to other things that I know? Explain your experience; reveal your new insights, connections with 

other learning, your hypotheses, and your conclusions.3.

3. Reflect on how this information will be useful to you – What questions do I have? Have I changed how 

I think about the situation? Where do I go from here?
