...Anthony Reid Business Management Personal Development and Planning Reflective report assignment During my first year of studying in the Cardiff Metropolitan University I have found myself using a number of skills that I was previously taught in my school and now this set of skills is been all brought up together and represented in a more specific and detailed view throughout the PDP course. PDP e-lessons were a good source, which I have used when I have found my self stuck with the referencing and the way to put the sources list in the end of my work the right way. Academic skills Note making is one of the skills that I have applied fully and at which I feel strong. The basics of making the effective notes from printed sources is a very important skill that I have learned and applied quite a lot during the study year. It helped me to quickly take down important notes mostly in a format of bullet points during lectures and seminars, while going through photocopies and piles of hand outs that where given out by lecturers at seminars. By knowing that the notes have to be effective; i.e. focused, organized, targeted and the most important for me – useful, forced me to improve myself in organizing the notes for each subject in a different note taking book as well as a separate electronic folder in a notes app on my iPad, which is synced to Google drive. Another very helpful technic that I have been using since the first time I have started learning languages is note...

...How do I . . . Write a Reflection? Why reflective writing? Reflection offers you the opportunity to consider how your personal experiences and observations shape your thinking and your acceptance of new ideas. Professors often ask students to write reading reflections. They do this to encourage you to explore your own ideas about a text, to express your opinion rather than summarise the opinions of others. Reflective writing can help you to improve your analytical skills because it requires you to express what you think, and more significantly, how and why you think that way. In addition, reflective analysis asks you to acknowledge that your thoughts are shaped by your assumptions and preconceived ideas; in doing so, you can appreciate the ideas of others, notice how their assumptions and preconceived ideas may have shaped their thoughts, and perhaps recognize how your ideas support or oppose what you read. Types of Reflection Experiential Reflection: Popular in professional programs, like business, nursing, forensics and education, reflection is an important part of making connections between theory and practice. When you are asked to reflect upon experience in a placement, you do not only describe your experience, but you evaluate it based on ideas from class. You can assess a theory or approach based on your observations and practice and evaluate your own knowledge and skills within your professional field. This opportunity to take the time to think ...

...Abstract To present a novice researcher's use of a reflective research diary in the quantitive measure of a mixed methods study and to recommend resulting changes to practice. Reflexivity is often regarded as a useful tool for ensuring the standard of qualitative research. Reflexivity provides transparent information about the positionality and personal values of the researcher that could affect data collection and analysis; this research process is deemed to be best practice. A reflective research diary also allows researchers to record observations about the research process. However, such diaries are rarely used in quantitative research and are even contraindicated. A reflective research diary maintained while conducting a retrospective audit of 150 hospice casenotes. A reflective research diary was written at the end of every research session to keep a detailed history of the research process and to critically reflect on the researcher's thoughts, feelings and observations on the day's work. This paper raises questions about whether reflexivity is appropriate in quantitative research, whether it has the capacity to add something of value or whether it endangers the robustness of the method. The authors consider the place of grounded theory's commitment to reflexivity in this mixed-methods study and discuss whether reflexivity offers any benefits to researcher development. Use of reflexivity had a positive impact on the progress of the quantitative measure...
