To complete this task you will firstly need to read the resources in the folder “Reflection†on the HSM402 Interact site.
The assessment task involves making entries in your reflective journal throughout the semester. It is recommended that you make entries at least weekly, during your
study sessions or on other occasions when you have time to record your thoughts. Each entry must be dated.
The journal is not a diary, although you will need to include some descriptive content on which to base your reflective comments. It is expected that your entries will
follow exposure to various “triggers†which might originate from the readings, forum discussions, topic activities, something you heard on the news, or from events
or incidents at work, such as interviewing applicants for a position. Your journal entry will naturally begin with a brief description of the situation, then follow on
with discussion about how you felt about it, what concerned you, what questions arose, and what the implications might be for your managerial practice, etc.
Importantly, after making an entry that demands further thought or action, you then return to it at a later date during the semester, perhaps several times, and make
additional commentary in the light of the new knowledge you have gained through your study or other experiences. A spiral of learning then forms, where each time your
return to the experience, you do so with a greater degree of knowledge.
It is also expected that you will:
use the journal to record the difference between what is presented to you in the readings, and what occurs in your workplace. The topic activities are designed to
promote your reflection in this regard. This process will also enable you to identify a topic for your third assignment.
include in your journal your reflections on your learning in the subject. You can include your initial feelings about the subject, your approach to study, use of
Interact, research techniques, time management etc.
include your reflections on your performance in Assignment 2 based on individual and group feedback.
include, in your final journal entry, a summary of the main issues that have emerged from your reflections during the semester, how your managerial thinking has
changed, and the rationale for your choice of topic for the third assignment.
clearly indicate using headings, your responses to the two preceding points.
It is important that you write freely in your journal, and include drawings, colour, photos if you choose. You may use “Pebblepad” as the format for your journal (see
Interact for details). You will be marked on the process of your reflection, and your engagement with the subject, not on the nature of your reflections or personal
