Subject HRM500 Reflective report:

You should journal your experience from course readings (or video/audio materials), notes, text book readings. This can include actual learning moments, interactions with other students or professors and the overall educational impact the various elements had on you and which points do you think will be useful in your future career. Use the following points when you write of your learning experiences:

1. Description of topic studied on the course

2. Your opinion/ideas on the topic

3. Introduce an 'everyday' life experience (experience in your workplace/college, a tv show you watched etc)

4. Use informal language, yet still uses full sentences

5. Makes a link between your 'everyday' life experience and the topic you studied (or link topic you studied to your future career)
EXAMPLE

Here is an example from the University of South Wales - Sydney

Learning Journal-

Last week's lecture presented the idea that science is the most powerful form of evidence [1] . My position as a student studying both physics and law makes this an important issue for me [2] and one I was thinking about while watching the 'The New Inventors' television program last Tuesday [3] . The two 'inventors' were accompanied by their marketing people. The conversations were quite contrived, but also funny and enlightening. I realised that the marketing people used a certain form of evidence to persuade the viewers of the value of the inventions [4] . To them, this value was determined solely by whether something could be bought or sold-in other words, whether something was 'marketable'. In contrast, the inventors seemed quite shy and reluctant to use anything more than technical language, almost as if this was the only evidence required - as if no further explanation was needed.This difference forced me to reflect on the aims of this course-how communication skills are not generic but differ according to time and place. Like in the 'Research Methodology' textbook discussed in the first lecture, these communication skills are the result of a form of triangulation, [5]
