What to do, what to not do

Do things:
Talk in the first person - this is all about you. Use "I", "me".
Use the lead-in lines e.g. ;Before studying this course...' to help you with the critical reflective process.
Set out your existing beliefs, knowledge and understanding and how these came about, use the course material to critically reflect on these, then set out future actions as a result of what you have learned.

Do NOT:

Give your personal opinion - reflection is the opposite to this where you question your opinions.

Set out what other people, government, business etc should or should not do. This is about YOU and questioning yourself, not saying what others should do.

Write traditional academic essay - reflection is different to this and is about questioning yourself.
