Assessment 3: Reflective essay
MyReflection A critical evaluation of your experience undertaking a project, with reference to theory.
Introduction
Engaging in critical evaluation
This critical evaluation essay requires you to review your experience of undertaking a project – Assessment Task 2. It requires you to critically analyse your experience undertaking Assessment Task 2 in light of the theory we have discussed this session. You are required to critically evaluate how you and your team members did – or did not – utilise the project management tools that you have discovered this session.
Task
Critically discuss how your experience in Assessment Task 2 aligned (or did not align) with project management principles. Analyse your experience against at least three (3) knowledge areas. You may choose to use positive or negative experiences, although students tend to learn more from reflecting on negative experiences in a reflective essay. You will be expected to:
• Introduce the essay
• BRIEFLY describe the situation/s you are going to discuss
• Link the experience to the theory we have discussed this session
• Provide insight into how you engaged in, or contributed to, the situation
• Provide insight, in light of what you have experienced and learned, into what you would do differently the next time you undertake a project
• Conclude the essay You must refer to the literature and use at least three (3) different textbook or academic quality references.
Marking criteria You will be marked on your ability to:
• critically evaluate three (3) knowledge areas, identifying your own interaction and the interaction of others
• integrate and reflect on personal experiences, collaborative learning processes and theory
• use a logical structure, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and be within 10% of word count
• use at least three references to support your discussion, using Harvard referencing
