Weight: 20%
Brief description of task: A 1500-2000 word reflection exercise
Individual assignment

Background
In order to develop personally and professionally, it is important to reflect on your performance contribution and effectiveness in the tasks you undertake and the projects and initiatives you are involved in.
The assignment
The assignment requires students to engage in disciplined self-reflection, following the principles and structure of experiential learning. In a 1500-2000 word personal review, students are directed to respond to the following questions:
1. As you approach the end of your degree, what is your consolidated view on the key learnings (academic and personal) that you will take away from your experiences within your core and specialisation units?
2. To what degree did your views on effective team working / cross cultural team working change or evolve as a result of your experiences in working collaboratively on Assignment 2?
3. What were the advantages and disadvantages of working on Assignment 2 in a team, rather than an individual capacity?
4. What role did you take in the team for Assignment 2, and how effective were you in promoting your ideas within the group?
5. What went well and what could have been improved upon reflection in relation to Assignment 2?
6. What will you take away from your experience within this Unit in terms of work
readiness and future employability?
Endnote should be used to capture and manage citations, of which there should be no fewer than 10. A screenshot of the Endnote file needs to accompany the assignment submission.
