Template for Reflective Journal
Assignment 4 CIMA 706
· Reflective journals are used to record detailed descriptions of certain aspects of an event or thought. For example, who was there, what was the purpose of the event, what do you think about it, how does it make you feel, etc. Write down everything, even if you don’t have a clear idea of how this information will be helpful.
· Writing a reflective journal requires not only that you describe a learning experience, but also that you analyze the topics covered and articulate your feelings and opinions about the subject matter.
· Each week’s entry should be approximately 250 words long. Use the weekly
essential and/or guiding questions as a guide.
