Assessment 3: Reflective Learning Journal
Weight: 35%
Task Description:
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?
Marking Criteria:
• Understanding and critical analyses of course concepts, theories and frameworks
• Evidence of critical reflection and evaluation of what you have learned
• Demonstrated ability to synthesise and apply course information to your future studies and or/work
• Report presentation (clarity, internal flow, referencing)
Reflective Learning Journal
Step 1: Record your reflections
· Use the Reflective Log Template (table attached below, full version can be found under the ‘Assessment tab’ at [email protected] to record your learning activities throughout the semester.
· The three columns in the learning log correspond with the three sections in the report.
· Reflections can be recorded during or closely after the sessions.
· The focus of the reflection could be the weekly lecture topic, or you may like to focus on a particular reading for the week.
· Remember you will need to incorporate at least 6 of the weekly readings into the final report.
