    This document provides guidance on writing reflectively for university courses. It discusses including reflections on experiences from the course, perceptions of content, questions that arose, and connections to prior knowledge or other disciplines. The document recommends mindmapping ideas before writing and using an exploratory style with description, explanation, and personal perspective. Specific tips are given, such as describing an experience from the course, one's role, feelings, and how the experience relates to course concepts. Reflective writing allows for subjective thought and more questions than answers.
