Keep in mind that the aim of the project is not just to display knowledge; you must also apply methods and techniques you have developed through Approaches to Learning and demonstrate your experience and understanding of Approaches to Learning. This will reflect in the Process Journal and in the Project Report.

ATL skills provide a solid foundation for learning independently and with others, demonstrating learning, and reflecting on the process of learning.

You have the opportunity to develop affective skills—mindfulness, perseverance, emotional management, self-motivation and resilience—throughout the entire process. This skill set contributes to managing state of mind and a healthy, balanced approach to the projects.

Be sure to make notes in your process journal that reflect on the ATL skills demonstrated along the way as you investigate, plan, take action, and reflect on your learning in order to complete the Personal Project.
