Reflection

Dhruv Arora_Reflection Essay_5 Dec 2021_UWP-1.pdf

In this assignment, I wrote a Reflection Essay for my UWP 001 course. As part of this assignment, I was required to make an argument for how I have met the UWP 001 learning outcomes, support my argument with specific examples, describe what could I further improve on, and consider how what I learned about research in the course could apply to my future writing contexts.

The assignment taught me that Reflection is an integral part of the learning process. Not only does it allow us to learn more about ourselves and how we learn, but it also aids us in improving our academic skills. Reflective writing allows us to engage in critical and reflective thinking, while also helping us to better process our experience and outcomes.

The most challenging part was making sure to cite examples from projects that best support the argument for meeting the learning objectives of the course. The Reflective Essay provides the opportunity to think about and mention the work done throughout the quarter in UWP 001, the learnings and what could be further worked upon. The peer feedback was another helpful method that helped in improving the e-portfolio assignments further, as it determined from a different perspective what could be an area of focus, something that I did not think would be as important initially.
