A Turnitin Similarity Report
We would like you to reflect on your progression through the course and evaluate the extent to which you have become a critically reflective scholarly practitioner, and how this has impacted on your personal and professional development. We would like to write in a narrative style that informs your manager as to your development, thus the focus is a practitioner audience.
Whilst the report is an independent piece of work, you are required to progress the development through action learning methodology, whereby you provide and receive critical peer feedback and support.
Although the structure will vary according to your learning and experience, we would expect to see reference to personal learning, practitioner learning and organisational learning, along with the intertwining impact on your own professional development.
Your work will be assessed in a holistic manner and will focus on the degree to which you have engaged in critical reflection on your learning experience; the quality and succinctness of the narrative will also be assessed.
Key Specifications and Requirements
You may refer to any of the materials and tools introduced on the course but must:
Identify what you have learnt about giving and receiving feedback, both from peers and tutors.
Identify what you have learnt about writing for an academic and practitioner audience.
Identify which elements of the course have had the greatest impact on your learning.
Explore how you will action the learning from the course to enhance your research journey.
Write in a succinct manner that clearly conveys your understanding and application of your learning.
Set your work out in a narrative essay style.
Ensure that your work has an introduction and a conclusion. Be clear about the use of paragraphs.
Use the first-person (e.g. I wanted to undertake this type of change because…) as this is a reflective piece of work.
Label any diagrams used (e.g. Figure 1), give it a title, and credit the source.
Use Harvard referencing accurately.
Remember, the report/essay should be written in your own words. If you use a quote or directly insert words used by others then these must be placed in speech marks () and be followed by the author(s) family name, year and page number(s). If you are just using an idea then you should still acknowledge (reference)the source, but no page numbers are needed.
Ultimately, remember, you are navigating the reader through ideas/thinking and evidence and you are coming to a position. As such, there must be considerable you in the work. The work cannot simply be a collection of others peoples commentary. You should be comparing, contrasting, evaluating and then ultimately proposing a conclusion.
Write 500 words (+/- 10% not including references) and include a word count at the end of the assignment.
