Criteria E: Reflection/Engagement
Effective reflection - this is worth 6/34 of the marks
Effective learners reflect regularly. You will create a reflective journal - you should reflect reguarly.
Managebac provides an RSS as reflection space
Each EE student must write a short reflection after each of the three official meetings with their supervisor; the first in Feb/March the second (interim) in May and the third (viva voce) in January (grade 12)
6 points (of 34) are awarded the reflections recorded in Managebac in a document called the Reflections on Planning and Progress Form (RPPF).
For more resources on how to reflect effectively refer to skills and Step 3, Step 5 and Step 8
Notes on Posting your Reflections to Managebac:

Total word count for all 3 Reflections (1st Meeting, Interim Meeting, and Viva Voce) = 500 Words
