INTRODUCTION
A reflective journal is a place for writing or recording personal ideas, experiences and
information that students get in their learning process. The journals help students to keep the data
of their learning and with that the students can take decisions for the betterment of their future
(Daradoumis and Arguedas, 2020). By analysing and tracking their records the students can take
better decisions and can increase their performance. The journals also stops the individuals to
make errors which they have made in past. Their are various benefits of reflective journal that
help individuals in their personal and professional development. Constant personal and
professional development is important for learners because it increase their performance and
productivity. This report will be based on my reflection and experiences throughout my
university life.
