Tips

1. Reflective writing is more personal than other types of academic writing. You can use the first person (I ... , My ... , etc.) and explain how you felt.

2. Think about the experience in detail. Explain what went well and what was challenging, and say what you learned in the process.

3. Use a structure:

Short introduction to the situation

Evaluate the most important things about the experience, including solutions to problems

Say what you would do differently next time

Say what you learned overall.

4. Keep the focus on your learning process and what you will do better in future.
