Feedbacks

In our last session we had to pair up and write a reflective journal based on the feedbacks given by the other partner. I had the opportunity to share my educational journey with Bill who gave me very useful tips.

He had positive comments as well as some criticism for my blogs.He pointed out that i summarized my reflection on time management and business research very well.However, he suggested me to make use of some secondary resources like add some quotes or definition by authors wherever necessary. After his feedbacks i realized that i had no secondary resources in any of my previous blogs and Victoria also had the same criticism.Secondly he thought i have made good attempts to critically analyze myself and the experience, however some were a little too descriptive which was no surprise.

I have always been poor at critical analysis and some how i end up describing it too much.Having said this the  Kolbs Learning Cycle was a very effective tool as it gave me a clear structure on how to write a good reflective journal. ” It is generally believed that the thinking process involves two aspects: reflective thinking and critical thinking.They are not separate processes; rather they are closely connected"(Brookfield 1987) Several articles on critical writing guided me well.I summaries the event in brief then i talked about what did i find out or learn from the event and what could i have done better to improve any mistakes in future.

Bills feedback was very useful because i was clear about where i was lacking.I took his suggestion and implemented changes in my blogs.This session was very valuable because i got the all the relevant advices to improve academically.On my last year in university i will definitely use my knowledge i gained through out this academic year on reflective writing.I plan on following the key steps of Kolbs Learning Cycle which will help me to achieve better grades in future.
