Writing Reflections

An example of a good reflection as required for assessment 2 Part B.

The reflection tasks in MBF are intended to assist you in articulating your
understanding of the learning activities covered in class. You need to describe the
activities / experiences, and ALSO use the readings for this Unit to reflect on the
activity and your experience of it. Your reflection should be written following the DIEP
model (see below).

You need to use a minimum of two references in your reflection and include a short
list of these at the end of your reflection. Both in-text references and your reference
list need to follow the Harvard style of referencing. Use the VU APA 7th Guide on the
Library Website to manage this.

Below is an example of a good reflection. It follows the DIEP model and uses
Harvard style accurately to manage the references.

Each of the sections of this reflection are identified using the DIEP model.

• Describe (What happened? Describe the event, activity or experience)


• Interpret (Why? Interpret the significance or impact of the events in the
learning process)
• Evaluate (What you feel? Evaluate what you have learned or experienced.)
• Plan (How will you apply this knowledge in the future? Make links to your
future career)

Sample reflection

Today in MBF, we were put into the groups that we will work with for the rest
of the semester. This was done by categorising ourselves into group roles
through the help of a quiz. The quiz told me I am a thinker, but a lot of the
possible results were close. We then were asked to state our role, what course
we are studying and what mark we hoped to achieve in this unit. Then, we
were left to form groups compromising of people with an even balance of
these three things. We did this because one of the aims of the subject is to
teach us to be able to work in groups, so that we possess this skill when we
graduate. Being able to work in a team is of very high importance as we will be
required to do this once we are out in the workforce, because teams have proven to
be a good way of improving the effectiveness of organisations (Williams &
McWilliams, 2010). The reason for this particular team selection process was to
ensure that all teams had a diverse make up, and that team selection was not just
based on friendship. We will not be able to choose who we work with in the
workplace, so it is important that we gain the ability to work with whomever we are
thrown together with.

I thought that the team selection process was fair and reasonably effective in
creating a diverse team. I say reasonably, because I found that my group isn’t
quite made up of different roles. The quiz was helpful in the way that it gave us
an idea of which group role we are most suited to, but it turned out that a lot of

people got the same results, so I think that as a result of that, not all teams will
have a completely even mix of roles.

Otherwise, I think the selection process was good, as it has put me in a group
with people I don’t know, and it has given me a real sense of what a work team
might feel like in the workplace. My plan for the way I will go about working in this
group is to hopefully have an opportunity to experience each team role, but to also
focus on a leadership role. When our group formed, I found that we were going down
the common road of searching for a sense of direction and a strong leader (Tyson,
1998),so I would like to step up and try that role. Having said that I will be very open
to trying other roles, and having other people lead as my real goal for this unit is to
learn and experience as much as possible.
