WS1006 Self in Professional Helping Guide: 4. Reflective Writing

This guide will help WS1006 students complete subject assessment tasks

WS1006 reflective task writing resources

The WS1006 Reflective Journal Template (in your LearnJCU site) details the structure/format you must follow to complete this assignment.

The Learning Centre's generic guide on reflective writing may be of assistance while working on this task. You will learn that a reflective essay critically discusses personal experience and opinion in light of broader literature, theories or subject materials.

Academic Phrasebank aims to provide example phrases to improve academic writing, e.g. being critical, compare and contrast and writing about the past.

Editing and proofreading checklists

Edit as soon as you finish your first draft. Re-read to see if your response is well-organised, transitioning between paragraphs is smooth and whether your evidence really does support your overall thesis/argument.

Proofreading should be the very last step of your revision process – what you do after you have finished all of the editing revision. To proofread, you focus on the detail that helps you make a good impression. This means you attend to formatting, spelling, grammar and punctuation.
