Writing my Critical Reflection
Even though I haven't quite finished all the tasks in reader three, I wanted to make sure I leave myself a lot of time to tackle the big essay. As we can send in drafts before the final deadline date I feel under a lot of pressure to get something done to send in draft version! I want to take every opportunity I can from my tutor to get feedback on this to hopefully end up with the best possible result.
I have now sat down on Easter Saturday to hopefully make more of a productive start to my essay, before the fun begins for Easter Sunday tomorrow!
My current feelings whilst trying to write my Critical Reflection...
I haven't wrote any kind of essay for five years and the words 'appendices' and 'references' are completely new to me. I have read so many different things on how to Harvard reference, yet I still feel completely clueless!
I have wrote down two draft versions on paper. Which is just basically a list of words and feelings on what I have learnt so far.
I have now transferred them into a word document, with links to things I think could be useful and that I could use in my essay writing. However, this does not resemble an essay in any way shape or form! I am feeling positive that with almost a month to go and lots of time to draft and improve that things will become clearer and I can produce a good reflection what I have learnt so far.
I would love to hear how everyone else if getting on and any thoughts on how you feel about writing your critical reflection!
You have taken the words out of my mouth!!! Completely dumbstruck on how to start it, I'm hoping once I get going it will all come together. Easter weekend, however, has other plans in mind and I haven't managed to start!!!! You seem to have had the right idea in terms of planning and getting started with it. It is a draft, so is meant to be improved upon so getting your thoughts down is the most important thing (my opinion anyway), so keep going!!!!!xxx
ReplyDeleteEmily, at this moment in time I think there is a few of us with the same view as its the first module it is all new to us. Luckily we have the time to send it drafts so i'm positive that our tutors will guide us if we slide of the right track.

Hi Emily, definitely in the same boat as you, your not alone. Feeling like I want to finish all the tasks before writing the critical reflection but running out of time to send in drafts before the deadline for everything. Planning for draft 1 tomorrow so will also do a blog on the process, look forward to reading everyone's.
