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
