Reflecting on your achievements: Recording your skills.

Reflection skills essentially give you the mental time and space to consider what you have been doing, value it, place it in context and make mature decisions about what to do next. It does not necessarily involve change, although it may lead to development or change. As an example of the process consider the responses from two students listing their university experience on a CV. Student A lists the codes and names of modules. Students B lists modules with annotations: Level 1 Global Environmental Issues module involved two pieces of teamwork, discussion and negotiation, group report writing and a presentation. This greatly improved my self confidence and ability to work with others to meet deadlines. Statements like that of Student B might appear on a CV or be spoken at interview. The point of this Portfolio is to nudge you into recording so that experiences are not lost. A really good example includes the evidence. Here are some example reflection statements.
