The reflective essay gives you an opportunity to reflect and discuss your achievements while completing the project. Your work on the project is not completed till you evaluate your work objectively in a reflective essay.

Your essay will have the introduction, supporting paragraphs (at least three) and conclusion.

The introductory paragraph is meant for describing the background of your project, your role in it, and the reasons for choosing it. It is also important to mention your aims for developing the project.

In the supporting paragraphs you will tell about the process of working on the project from its initial to final stages. Your tutors will appreciate if you elucidate the project comprehensively, paying attention both to its weak and strong points; positive and negative experiences and feelings. Give examples of your cooperation with others; tell what new useful knowledge you have acquired; make a critical review of your progress.

To conclude your reflective essay efficiently, answer these questions:

• Did you achieve your aims?
• What would you like to change if you had another chance?
• What useful expertise have you obtained from the project?
• Will you apply this knowledge in your future career?
• How could the project be improved?
