Description

Coursework content

Depends on #46

Now that you have your spreadsheet, you reviewed it, and you are confident it is a good picture of your availability and commitments on a typical week, we can reflect on it.

An important goal of this exercise is to observe your life from an external perspective.

  • Write a statement about your reflection. It should be at least 50 words long.
  • Don't forget to check your text with a grammar tool, such as Grammarly

Read it a few times aloud and ensure you haven't missed anything. Ask yourself if this is what you had planned or a realistic description of what happens. Make any changes and iterations to it.

Now look at the number of hours you dedicate to each activity per week.

Ensure you include your energy and concentration levels when studying or CYF training.

Read the updated sample and iterate again on it, ensuring it has the expected level of detail.

Share your reflection with your pair.
Ask them to ask you questions about the accuracy of it.
Get them to help you to refine it.
