Task Details: Individual Reflection Report – Students need to write a reflection report discussing and analysing the group work process undertaken during the simulation project. Students should refer to team work theory, and explain how well or poorly it operated in their group, and in their own specific performance. Students should conclude with at least three actions points that can improve their future group work performance, now that you have the benefit of experience and hindsight. The report is to be reflective and evaluative (use referenced theory), and it is important that you offer critical insight. Avoid offering descriptive accounts as to “who had which role” and “what happened, when this or that went right or wrong”. The review should focus on what you learnt as a consequence of the role(s) you fulfilled, leadership you offered or experienced, exemplary practices, the use of new found skills, or “moments of truth” (e.g., finding out how to give and receive feedback – the hard way).Research requirements – students should use a minimum of 5 academic journal articles to support their reflections and analysis.
