Part of successful self-directed learning is a final step where you reflect on your learning and progress. Pause for a moment and think about the progress you have made and compare it with your goals and expectations for this course. You should not feel compelled to be positive about your experiences (although we hope that a few bright spots exist); please be honest. Also, this is an individual assignment and should reflect your individual views.

In the reflection please think about the learning opportunities during the course. They include

  • Group work
  • Chairperson tasks
  • Life-long learning (economics and process operability)
  • New aspects of problem solving: HAZOP and trouble shooting
  • More responsibility distributed to you in project definition and completion
  • You might think of mentioning other issues that were especially important (or especially unimportant/unhelpful) to you.

We would like you to write an honest reflection on your experiences in the course. We would like you to address as many learning experiences as you wish, as long as you are sure to discuss the topics listed above. We would like you to consider how you have changed (or not) as a result of these experiences.

The purpose is not necessarily an evaluation of the course; we have the standard forms for course evaluation. However, if some positive or negative issue arises about the course design or delivery, you can include this in your reflection. Please be specific in your comments, and note that suggestions for improvement for future years are gratefully accepted. Please know that you will not be penalized for any negative comments, however, if you feel your comments might be extreme in some way, please provide these via the anonymous course website feedback form. Over 120 comments have been received this way during the term, which have hopefully made this course more enjoyable and worthwhile to you.

  • Only a single page. Write a draft in Word
  • Then copy and paste it into this secure electronic form
  • The form will also be a peer evaluation, so wait until near the end of the project to submit this.


Grading for the course reflection will be dependent on:

  • overall coverage in your answer of the above points
  • clarity and structure of your answer
  • items that are relevant to the reflection, such as identifying shortcomings that you noticed, what you did about them, what processes worked and what didn't, and demonstrating evidence that you've now grasped the idea of SDL.
