SWOT CHART
To complete you make a chart of three columns - “Plus”, “Minus” and “Interesting.”
Step 1. Consider the Plus Points
In this step, simply enumerate all of the positive things you can think of. Don’t critique yourself along the way, simply spill out all the positive points that you can think of.
Step 2. Consider the Minus Points
In this step, enumerate all of the negative things you can think of. Again, don’t critique yourself. Simply spill out all the negative points you can think of.
Step 3. Consider the Interesting Points of the Situation.
In this step, enumerate all the interesting points that you can think of. Rather than positive or negative, they are simply points of interest that you should direct your attention to.
Examples of reflective thinking: It’s about collecting any feedback, reflecting upon solutions…is it right? Does it fulfil the requirements of the brief? It’s about looking back over what has been done…
