Questions to ask yourself
• What specifications did you create for your product/outcome?
• What plan of action did you create to complete your project? (List out your steps)
• How did you record your progress and stay on track?
• If you made changes to your goal during the project, explain the changes and why you made them.
• How did you monitor your progress according to your timeline and meet your deadlines?
• What resources (printed/electronic/primary/secondary) did you investigate for your project? Why did you choose them? Were some resources better than others? Did you have any difficulties finding or using resources?
• How did you make your choices about what information to use and what to discard? How did you
evaluate your sources?
REMEMBER
• Outline the self-management skills you had when you started the project.
• Discuss the self-management skills you developed through the project.
Process Journal
Process Journal
This is an integral part of your Personal Project. This is proof that you have been engaging in the whole process of the Personal Project right from day 1. This should show evidence of regular reflection at every step of completing your personal project. It needs to be neat but more importantly it should show quality reflection. You should use your process journal to record all the work completed weekly.
It can contain the following:
1. Mind maps showing brainstorming ideas for your project.
2. Bullet lists to show the development of your ideas.
3. Charts to enable reflection and draw conclusions.
4. Short paragraphs about your meeting with your supervisor and explaining your goal for the next meeting.
5. Notes taken from your research-remember to record the source as soon as you start using the
information.
6. Timelines - a rough plan of how you will proceed with your project.
7. Annotated illustrations to help brainstorming.
8. Photos and pictures of your process.
The process journal can be in any format that you choose--a website, audio recordings, video recordings, a written record. It SHOULD NOT BE A DAILY LOG OR DIARY. You might want to change formats for each stage of the project.
On completion of the personal project, you will select a maximum of 10 individual extracts from your process journal to submit as appendices of your project report. Extracts can be in many formats, but focus of the selection should be extracts that are directly relevant to the process that you have undergone in the development and completion of the project.
The extracts should clearly highlight how you have addressed the objectives of project.
These extracts will not be directly assessed, but will provide evidence of the levels of achievement awarded for the project.

Other things to consider and discuss:
Challenges/Difficulties—This section should be dedicated for issues that arose during your project process. It is important that you record this information as it can and should show how you dealt with adversity and adapted your methods. This needs to be directly related to an ATL skill.
Evaluation of the Process—In this section, you should state what your original plans and goals were for your personal project and how you achieved or did not achieve your original goal. It is acceptable for you to not have met your goals, but you must clearly identify the issues that arose that prevented you from meeting your goals (“I ran out of time” or “I just got too busy” are NOT acceptable issues).
It will be assessed using Criterion B of the Personal Project rubric.
You must provide evidence that you have addressed the four objectives to demonstrate achievement at the highest levels of the criteria.
