How did you or did you not meet your goals or the goals of the class/project you were involved in?
Self-Reflective Essay
A self-reflective essay is a brief paper where you describe an experience and how it has changed you or helped you to grow. For this assignment, reflect on your personal and academic growth from your MGMT 300 project. Describe your overall experience and how you have grown and changed. Your self-reflective essay should have three parts, an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Please use the following as a guide for each section.
Introduction
Introductions to reflective essays do not need to be longer than one paragraph in length. When writing an introduction, present the purpose of your reflection without giving your reader too much detail about the body of your paper. In the introduction, it is also helpful to tell your reader if you met your goals or the goals of the class/project. Later, in the body of the reflection, you can explain how these goals were or were not met in greater detail. Think of the introduction as a brief preview to the rest of your reflection.
Body
The body should discuss in detail your development as a student. For instance, if writing a reflective essay at the end of the quarter for a certain class/project, how did you grow over the course of the class/project? What have you learned? Can you apply what you have learned to your future academic or life pursuits? How did you or did you not meet your goals or the goals of the class/project you were involved in? This is slightly different from what you should discuss in your introduction. Do not just tell the reader whether or not you met these goals. Rather, show the reader by using illustrations from the class/project or other relevant experiences. Are there any skills you can improve on? If so, how do you plan on doing so in the future?
Conclusion
In the conclusion of a reflective essay, you should remind the reader of the ways in which you have developed as a student. This may seem redundant since you already discussed these things in detail in your essays body, but remember that the conclusion is the last thing your audience will read. As a result, leave no doubt in the readers mind that your essay clearly demonstrates how you have grown.
