Tips for Reflective Learning Journal
The reflective journal assignments are intended to help you integrate new knowledge with your existing knowledge and experiences. Completing journal assignments provides you an opportunity to reflect so that you may clearly describe your learning and articulate how it might be applied. A suggested length for the assignment is included in the instructions. You might find it helpful to write as much as you wish to fully answer the questions, take a day or two to reflect on what you wrote, then consider what is important about that reflection and edit for the final submission. This process can help you to identify what was relevant to you. You are expected to use correct grammar, spelling and composition. If you use sources in your writing, you must properly cite and reference.
