From your studies to your career, reflection and reflective writing is a key skill for personal and professional development. However, reflective writing requires a different approach to essays or reports - it can be difficult to know how to accomplish it.
Written in a supportive and inclusive tone, The Student's Guide to Reflective Writing is an ideal resource for anyone faced with reflective writing assignments. It provides clear and practical advice on every step of the process, showing you how to:
- Record your experiences

Throughout the book, there are a wealth of practice tasks and detailed examples of reflective writing from a range of disciplines. It also contains a glossary of sentence structures to help you get started and build your confidence.
This hands-on and supportive guide equips you with the skills to write critically, reflectively and successfully.
