Refer to the following for details on how to conceive and write a compelling written Class Reflection: the document is expected to be semi-formal in nature, but it should not be complicated –

1)  ABSTRACT (150 words maximum)

An abstract is a concise summary of a particular subject and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper’s purpose. An abstract must be fully self-contained and make sense by itself, without further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper.

2)  BODY

The body is what comes to mind when most people think of a paper; it is, of course, the main text of the paper. The body of a paper is the primary content; a detailed discussion of the work for those readers who want some depth and completeness of what was learnt.

The reflection should be written in the first-person narrative; ensure you inform the reader about your experience in the class, not just the exercise per se; remember that your tutor was with you in the class, so they DO NOT NEED you to explain the exercise to them! You can and should use aspects of the exercise to support your examination and discussion of your own behaviour and thoughts as an individual and as a team member.

The refection should specifically mention the dynamics of the team you were in for the exercise – was there a leader in the team? Was the team able to effectively delegate tasks to one another? Was the teams’ communication good or bad? Both positive and negative aspects of the team should be analysed. The reflection should also highlight what you would do differently in the future, within the team as well as more generally for the exercise, as this has the ability to effectively show your learning.
