INTRODUCTION
Reflective Essay is defined as an essay or an analytical practice in which events and
experiences in life are described by writer. Here, the writer first thinks of an event and
then write about those exploring the way he or she has changed grow or develop from
those experiences (Naber, and Wyatt, 2014). This report is based on a reflective essay
in which a reflection is provided on my own learning during the module.
MAIN BODY
Reflection is about expressing own feelings and thoughts regarding a particular
experience or event. It makes an individual aware of one’s thinking processes and
enable to express those to others. It helps in developing emotional self-awareness and
gaining better understanding of own strengths, weaknesses and other areas. Reflecting
on own learning process will provides an opportunity to a person to identify the weak
areas and improve them (Allan and Driscoll, 2014). I am a student studying in the
University and undertaking module named as ‘Preparing for Success at University:
Knowledge and Creativity’. I am reflecting on the experience and learning that I gain
during the module. While studying in the module, my tutor assigned me with some tasks
and activities to perform. I learnt so many things in module that are applicable to both,
academic as well as professional context. At the time when I undertake this module, my
tutor asks me to give presentation in class. This was the very new to me as I never
prepare and give presentation before. I felt very nervous at that time and thought about
what I need to do. But, I required to give that presentation in group which is the positive
point for me. I was assigned with a topic on which I need to gather information and
prepare presentation. As this activity needs to done in group, me and my group
members divided the work and stated preparing the presentation. My role is to collect
information on topic and present information on it in class. At the time of researching the
information, I got to know that my research skills are not good and I found difficulties in
gathering content. I haven’t any knowledge about which source is authentic or which is
not. But then, one among my group member helped me in gathering information on
topic. I learnt about from which source I can get authentic information on topic
(Pasternak and Rigoni, 2015).
