Supporting documentation to accompany the Mini Project resources released by the University of Hertfordshire School of Electronic Communications and Electrical Engineering, as a part of the EngSC UKOER project.

1. Reflection – Day 1 of your Mini-Project
Name: Cohort: Date:
1. What was the aim of today’s session?
2. How much of the overall aim of the day did you achieve? Do you think that it is a fair
reflection of your ability or not?
3. Are you getting better at planning? Explain how you have achieved this improvement. If
you aren’t any better, why not?
4. Looking back on how the day went, can you identify specific examples of where your
experience of Projects 1 & 2 helped you today?

2. Reflection
5. Did you choose to review the information you were given in the lecture and the
preparation session again before you came to this session or not? Give examples of how
today’s performance was affected by that choice?
6. Since you began this module, what key improvements (if any) have you made to the way
you record what you do during a project Day? Did you recommend these changes in the
reflection sheets? Are there other recommendations you made but haven’t tried out? If
you haven’t made any changes, why not? - have you identified things that could be
improved but not tried to do them, or not really reflected properly on how to do things
better (look back at your reflection sheets to check this).

Reflection on Day 2 of Your Mini-Project
Name: Cohort: Date:
1. What was the aim of today’s session?
2. How much of the overall aim of the day did you achieve? Do you think that it is a fair
reflection of your ability or not?
3. What could you have done to improve today’s performance?
4. Look back at all of your reflection sheets. How seriously have you taken the reflection
process?
5. Summarise what you have learnt (if anything) from doing the mini projects module. If
you haven’t learnt anything, why do you think that is?
6. Would you recommend any changes to the mini projects module to make it a more
effective experience?

4. Reflection
Reflection on Preparation Session for Your Mini-Project
Name: Cohort: Date:
1. How efficient were you during the session? How could you have been more efficient?
2. How independent were you? Do you think that you asked for too much guidance, or
should you have asked for guidance sooner?
3. Look at how you have recorded what you did during the session. Is there any
additional information that you wish you had included?
4. Overall, summarise your performance during the session. How much effort did you put
into achieving the set task(s)? How happy are you with what you achieved?
5. Do you intend to look at the information you were given in the lecture and the notes
you made during the practical session again before the next session?
