What is a reflective learner?

Being a reflective learner involves making your learning a more conscious process. It helps you to become an active learner by asking questions and thinking critically about your own ideas. This can be a private process that you undertake as one of your own personal study strategies, or it may be part of your formal assessment. You may find there are unexpected rewards in consciously reflecting on your learning. The reflective process can help you find out things you had not considered before and you may even find that your academic writing improves.
