Reflection

Reflection is a valuable tool to separate the specific moments you are proud of from the moments when things did not go so well. It allows you to outline your learning outcomes and how they were achieved.

Important questions for you to ask yourself include:

• What were my overall thoughts of the project? Did I plan well and take action appropriately?

• Did I manage to achieve my goals for the project? My learning outcomes?

• How successful was the project?

• If I had to repeat the project, what would I do differently?

• How did the group work together?

• How can I apply what I learned to other situations?

Evidence from small group projects can be the same as other group members; however, the reflections need to be your own work relevant to your own learning outcomes

Here's some more questions to help you with your reflections:

1. What action did I take and why was it necessary?

2. What new skills did I develop?

3. How well did I persevere with the project when I became frustrated or other people disappointed me? Give examples of specific challenges you worked through.

4. How well did I collaborate with others especially when we disagreed and how can I improve my collaboration skills for the next project?

5. What are the possible positive and negative ethical implications of my action on other people and/or our environment?

6. In what ways did I contribute my current skills or knowledge to help with the project?

7. How did I become more internationally minded? For instance, did I use more than one language to complete the project, or did I learn about a different way of seeing the world, or have I found out something interesting about a culture other than my own?

8. What would other team members say were my strengths and what do I need to work on next?

9. Evaluate the overall success of the project and suggest how it could be improved if done again. (If your project has not finished you can still evaluate the process up until now).
