Assignment Task
The purpose of this assessment task is for students to apply their knowledge of academic skills and reflective practice.
The topic of the short reflective essay remains the same throughout your paper. However, you may like to write separate paragraphs about the ethical considerations and then reflect on how you might manage these on a day-to-day basis. As this is a reflective essay you can use first person or I throughout.
It is important when writing your paper that you consider your paragraphs. Paragraphs should be written with one main idea in each, though may contain evidence, examples, and elaborations or explanations of that main point. They should include academic sources to support your own ideas, which are referenced in APA 7 style. These academic sources have been supplied in your Moodle class space.
Note: The Marking criteria and word limit are different for the undergraduate and postgraduate assessments. While the scaffold below has been designed for undergraduates, postgraduate students might like to use it as a starting point and extend the number of paragraphs and the word count, based on the separate marking criteria.
