When to Reflect
How to Reflect
- There are many different ways to reflect on your experience. Your instructor might have you keep a journal, create a video presentation, work in small groups, or write a paper. Reflection often involves asking yourself some challenging questions; don't be afraid to dig deep and think creatively!
- Starfish Hurling by Keith Morton is a helpful document about how to reflect on your experience.
Saying Goodbye
- The service-learning experience can have a big impact on the student, the community partner, and community members. As the quarter comes to an end, be sure to communicate and reflect with the community agency. For tips on how to successfully say goodbye to your placement site, click here
