1.4. Post-assignment reflection
It is very useful to offer a space for reflection when students finish some assignment e.g. a project. They can note down the challenges they faced, what they have learnt, how they solved problems and how happy with those solutions they were. They can also record some advice they would give themselves if they were to go through a similar task again.
This reflection can have a variety of forms, e.g. a mind map, pros/cons diagram, free writing, a letter to themselves, SWOT analysis, etc.
