Personal Reflection

Personal Reflection Order Description Personal Reflection This assessment involves you writing a personal reflection about what you have learnt about memory or learning during this unit, with particular reference to your own observations about your memory or learning and what you have observed in others . I suggest you pick something that has particularly interested you or made you think. For example, you might have gained an insight into the fallibility of memory, so you could write about your reflection on the fallibility of memory, your thoughts and feelings and your response to these thoughts and feelings. You can use observations of yourself and others as examples and context for your writing. You can base your reflection on one of the topics covered in the unit, the topic of the proposed study in Part 1 above, the topic covered in Lab 1, or any research study related to the memory or learning topics covered in the unit that has interested you. The word limit for this will be 600 words. You need to include at least 1 journal reference that details original research i.e. you can reference the textbook or other books, but you also need to include 1 primary source that describes original research.
