Individual Reflective Journal Specifications

Purpose: The Individual Reflective Journal is to ensure each student is able to contribute to document a critical reflection of their personal learning process, as experienced during this unit. It will be best to build your journal progressively, by making notes each week, starting at week 1 and going through to week 10. Your notes will serve as a reminder of what you learnt, and how you experienced the learning process. A significant aspect of the learning journal will be your reflections on what you discovered from your group assignment
