MBB7011M Business Consultancy Project (Component 2) Reflective Portfolio Assignment Brief

Assignment Description

For this assessment, you will develop an e-Portfolio that will help you to reflect on your Professional Experience (Placement or EA) and to record the activities you were engaged in during this time. 

Learning to reflect is an important skill to develop as it will enable you to make the most of your experience and help to develop your self-awareness. Giving serious thought to the activities you were engaged in will allow you to consider which aspects of your Professional Experience interested you, what motivated you and where your strengths and weaknesses lie.   

Refection is a very personal activity and different people will have preference in hour they choose to reflect. Effective reflection can also be done by talking with others. This can include conversations with your work colleagues, classmates, friends, and tutors.   

Completing Reflective Logs

• You should aim to write a reflective log after any significant conversations, projects, activities or appraisals. They don’t have to be very long submissions but producing them on a regular basis, while the activity or conversation is fresh will help you better reflect on the situation.  
• You must have 12 reflective logs.

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.
