Reflection Rubric for Course Learning Outcomes: Faculty of Business (Postgraduate)

Definition: Reflection is the self-examination of personal thoughts and actions in order to uncover assumptions about ourselves, other people, and the workplace. For
practitioners this means focusing on how they interact with their colleagues and with the environment to obtain a clearer picture of their own behaviour. It is therefore a
process by which practitioners can better understand themselves in order to be able to build on existing strengths and take appropriate future learning and actions.
