What is a reflective essay?

Answer 1

A reflective essay is essentially your thoughts on a subject - specifically what you have learned.

The reflective essay gives you an opportunity to reflect and discuss your achievements while completing the project. Your work on the project is not completed till you evaluate your work objectively in a reflective essay.

Before actually writing collect all the materials that refer to the project you completed. Study these materials and objectively evaluate your learning experiences and final project. Be honest about the weak and strong points of your project and determine how it can be improved.

Start writing the first draft.

Describe your project. How did it contribute to your self development? Evaluate the quality of your work. Did you achieve your goals? Tell how you might have made your project better.

Revise your first draft.

Whichever project for your reflective essay may be, attention should be paid to the final result: What meaning will your project have to the readers? How does your project teach those who didn't work on it? Get your reader interested by writing an introduction that would catch their attention, and conclusion that they will remember. You should also keep in mind that your paper will be rated on the quality of your writing, as well as the content and whether all the required information was included.
