Assignment Description 

For this assessment, you will develop a reflective report which will be comprised as a word document. You will need to critically reflect upon your professional experience either in the industry or within EA using a reflective model. 

This report is an essential and distinguishing part of Professional Experience. As future industry workers or business owners, it is crucial that you engage in an environment where you can empirically apply theoretical knowledge. Understanding the significance of relationship building and industry connectedness will be crucial for your future careers. 

Professional Experience will provide opportunities for you to demonstrate your planning, research and time management skills and develop appropriate key skills needed for effective participation in a professional setting, including personal organisation, communication, and target setting. This report provides opportunities for you to reflect on the theoretical knowledge and understanding and apply it in practice.   

You are to critically evaluate your professional experience in terms of what did you do, what was your reaction, thinking and feeling of your placement. You will critically evaluate your experience and discuss the application of your experience, followed by a concluding statement.

It is important that the content is underpinned with the inclusion of relevant academic theory, concepts, and models where appropriate, as well as contemporary industrial insights. These should be accurately cited and referenced according to York St John Harvard Referencing throughout.
