How do I write a reflection?

Answer

A Reflective assignment usually links to personal experiences and your Tutor may allow the use of "I" - but don't be drawn into writing too informally with lots of description or narration. The main section will be a comparison between what happened and known standards, guidelines, best practice etc., often from different perspectives.

If you are new to this style of writing it maybe easier to use a model which will hep you to structure your work and indicate what you should include or answer in each section.
