Areflective statementis an academic style of writing in which the writer focuses on past learning from the experience. This event is typically, but not necessarily, related to their academic studies. This form of writing is a process where students can learn from their experiences and connect theory with practice in your professional field or discipline. It can help students become more aware of assumptions and preconceived ideas, and it can help students to plan future actions. Reflective writing: https://student.unsw.edu.au/reflective-writing
