What is a reflective analysis?

Assignment:
reflective analysis of your in-class activity
(environmental negotiation).
What is a reflective analysis?
A “good” reflective analysis is one that briefly describes the activity or training, and then
tries to analyze your experience of the activity using some of the skills and vocabulary you
have acquired. Reflection involves restating your observations in ways that ask questions about the motivations, understandings, choices, skills, and activities that you or your peers exhibited during these activities. Doubt is your friend when writing this type of assignment. A “great” reflective assignment will often result from aspects of your experience or observations about which you are confused, uncertain, or ambivalent. You should feel free to question your own ideas, as well as those of your instructors, and the authors you read. Try to ask and answer questions with informed speculation and critical thinking.
What’s the point?
This assignment lets you practice your observation and analysis of group and individual
communication and problem-solving processes so you can better understand progress
towards environmental conservation goals. It also encourages you to put your training
activities into the context of your overall goals as Environmental Professional.
The hope is that, through practices like these exercises, you will become a reflective
environmental conservation practitioner who is part of a thinking community
