Reflections

PBL Week 12:
Dear All,

Although tomorrow is a PBL daay, we'll do text4 in the first hour starting at 9:00. Please make sure you do the tasks before the class. Later, We'll do the reflection for phase 4.

Here are some ideas for you. You may do it before coming to class. That means you can leave early. If you don't make sure you have your laptop or smart phone to be able to prepare a short presentation. Here are some ideas:

Each team prepares a 15-20 mins. presentation reflecting on the whole course.You can use different tools  for your presentation e.g ppt, prezi, moviemaker. Below are all the ideas that we have discussed together for your presentations. You can add more on the list.

• ·         Mention all phases separately  (phase 1,2,3 and 4) as each phase needs a unique reflection.
• ·         First day (forming teams) and last day (poster presentation) are milestones!!! Talk about your feelings, learning points, challenges etc.
• ·         What were the challenges you faced? How did you overcome them?
• ·         Give some advice to future PBL students.
• ·         Provide feedback to your PBL teacher and the PBL coordinator. If you were the teacher or the coordinator what would you change/add / cancel and why?
• ·      Mention about the skills that you have developed -Try to give specific examples
• ·         Best moments …. Worst moments….
• ·         What was new to you? Did you like it?
• ·  ·         Don’t forget to use your photos from WhatsApp

·         You can refer to SLPBL website to see individual and team reflection documents for other ideas.

• ·         How did you benefit from the reflection tasks?  Reflection was a unique part of PBL – How did you feel about it?
• ·         TEAM WORK… for 12 weeks – the same team members: How did you feel about it? Advantages, problems, suggestions for better team work etc.
• ·         What are the contributions of the course to your education life and future career?
• Thanks!
