Ideally, personal reflective writing is writing-to-self.

In its purest form, a particular instance of personal reflective writing has the desired consequence of (the writer) making sense of:

• something the writer perceives (to exist in the physical world),
• something constructed (in the mind of the writer), or
• an instance of emotion (in the writer).

Reflective Writing for the Assignments in this Website

While the reflective writing being done for the assignments (in this website) is mostly writing-to-self, it is also writing-to-others. This website's assignments are:

• writing-to-self because you need to make sense of sections of the website's content (in order to receive credit for completing the assignment)
• writing-to-others insofar as you desire to receive credit (from your instructor) for each assignment you complete successfully.

Your reflective writing (for these assignments) should be written in first person (I, me, my) prose.

The sense you make of something (as articulated in your reflective writings) is neither correct nor incorrect. When applied (in a given situation), ones sense of something either:

• works effectively, or it
• does not work effectively (In which case, that particular sense of something needs to be re-evaluated).
