Final assessment: Reflection on the course

For the final assessment I want you to post in your own blog a reflection on the course.

Please take your time to do this properly, it will show whether you have really become a reflective learner.

You can write it in essay form, as you are now so good at writing essays.

This is what your essay must include:

Introduction: Motivation and expectations
Positive experiences
How the course could be improved
Evaluation of your own performance
Conclusion: What you have learnt

Good luck!

Organising study time

How much work can you do in 2 hours?

Make a study plan for the afternoon class. Decide what is achievable in the time you have.

At the end, evaluate your work. Explain what you have achieved. Could you have done better? How?

Write the reflection on the blog.
