2REFLECTIVE REPORT
Introduction
In this assignment, I will reflect on two important components of my course, namely,
essay writing and group presentation, both of which had an important role to play in shaping and
enhancing my skills in communication. I will first reflect in detail on what I learnt as a part of the
classes that were taken on essay writing after which I will proceed to reflect on everything that I
learnt when engaging in group presentations with my peers and associates in the class.

course that in order to be able to write an essay well, it is necessary to first gather thoughts and

essay becomes organized in its structure (Adler et al. 2016). What I have come to learn through
the course that I attended on essay writing is the fact that structure and form are the most
important things that are analyzed in an essay. If the structure and the form of the essay are not
alright to begin with, then it becomes very difficult to regard and interpret an essay as an essay
