FORMAT: flexible (structured or unstructured) and personalized writing
GUIDELINES:
The purpose of Assessment Task 3 is two-fold. It provides an opportunity:
- For students to reflect on (think about and understand) their learning experiences, and
- For facilitators to monitor students’ progress through their reflections.
This is not entirely a purely academic research task. Your personal experience and understanding should be your primary resource. However, it should not be just a private journal entry. Do not use it to thoughtlessly share how much you are enjoying the assessment tasks, or to tell others how ‘nice’ everyone and everything is. On the other hand, it should not contain a series of complaints with a lot of meaningless emotional language.
Remember: These are the recommended skills you will use in your entire life. For example, in writing about Assessment Task 1 and participating in Assessment Task 2, you are both a participant and an observer. You should present a considered view, in personal terms, of how the findings of Assessment Task 1 affected your participation in Assessment Task 2. It is acceptable, even necessary, to write about yourself, your realizations, and your feelings. Where appropriate, you should include theories that support your statements and reflections.
