Assignment:
Individual Reflection
The task: Critically reflect on your experience as a group member while completing assignment 1. Using the theories examined in the module, analyse your and other group members’ actions, behaviours, and intended outcomes.
For the past few weeks, you have been working in groups for assignment 1. During this time, you had to collaborate, communicate, distribute work, keep meeting minutes, undergo peer review, and learn to interact with others with different working styles, motivations, and often ethics. This assignment is an opportunity to critically reflect on your experience as a group member and make connections between what you experienced in practice and the theoretical perspectives examined in class.
For this assignment, it is vital that you focus on one or two themes and use relevant theories to go deeper in your reflective analysis. We are interested in quality rather than quantity; thus, it would be preferable to use multiple layers to critically analyse a situation, than to describe on the surface a plethora of events.
Whichever structure you choose to use for your essay, it is important that you include a section where you demonstrate the insights and learning you have achieved by reflecting on the specific situations vis-à-vis the theories examined in the module.
Mandatory
You will need to include as an appendix:
1. The meeting minutes for one of the group sessions you attended.
2. Evidence of a peer-review
