Abstract generalisation

You are required to maintain a record of what you have learned from readings, lectures and class discussions and incorporate them in a written report of 1800 words (plus or minus 10%), excluding cover page, contents, references and appendices.

The report is to comprise three main components:

1. Reflective observation — what you consider you have learned from the course:

• What did you notice or learn that you want to remember?

• How did what you have learned relate to your previous personal/professional experience?

2. Abstract generalisation — your conclusions from the learning outcomes:

What conclusions, principles, or guidelines can you draw from what you have learned from the course?

• About what you have learned from the topics covered?

• About your prior assumptions regarding the topics covered?

• About yourself?

3. Application — how you are going to apply what you have learned from the course:

• To future academic assignments (this course and/or others)?

• As a change agent/leader in the workplace?
