Context:
Self-reflection is a way of assessing yourself and the way you work and study. Reflecting helps in
developing your skills further and linking practice with theory. It is about analysing what you do and
why you do it and applying what you have learned in the future. Reflective self-awareness leads to
etter leadership skills and performance. More importantly, an enhanced understanding of oneself
also provides a solid basis for empathy and leading others.
In Assessment 1, Part A, the focus will be on you to reflect on the motivation for undertaking
postgraduate studies and expectations regarding the course and ensuing career path.
Part B, which is due in module 6, requires you to revisit Part A and do a short video presentation on
your learning experience and thinking, and how they might have evolved during the course of the
subject.

can be used in describing, analysing and evaluating learning experiences.
• How do you define business?
• Why did you choose this course?
• What kind of past experience (or interest) do you have in this area?
• How has your experience (academic, work, etc.) prepared you for this course?
• How do you ensure the required outcomes of your course are met?
• What can you do to manage and monitor your studies to a successful conclusion?
• As you think about the future, how might you apply your studies in later life?
• What kind of goals would you like to set for yourself with regards to this course?
Your Assessment 1; Part A should also include a
ief description of your initial understanding of
Business Environment and Economic Principles.
In writing your reflective statement of intent, you should justify your choice of studies; identify how
your studies relate to your own experiences and how you may apply your knowledge in the future.
Think carefully about your previous experiences and cu
ent expectations. Your statement should be
clear and succinct showing that you have short-term and long-term goals and an understanding of
what you want to do with your degree.
Please Note:
Your statement of intent is a reflexive writing piece, to be presented in the first person (I, Me, My,
Mine) and should be written in accordance with the following:
• You should write in the first person, because this is about YOU, your reflections and your
interpretations. (e.g. “I considered this advice to be…... because it had a big impact on
my……...and it helped me to understand my………...”).
• Try to be as specific as possible, use
ief examples to illustrate your points and select
