a. Reflective Report
We suggest the Reflective Report should consist of three sections and the overall report should be approximately 2500 words, supported by images, diagrams, tables etc. as appropriate.
Introduction
This section should give a clear, concise introduction to the company/institute/organisation in which you worked. It should demonstrate awareness of organisational context (e.g. customers, competitors, markets etc.) which should be quantified where possible. It should also provide an overview of the placement role and explain how the role contributed to the business/organisation. Avoid plagiarising company literature/web content.
Activities
It would not be possible to cover all the work done on placement in a report of this length; hence you should select 2 or 3 significant activities or pieces of work to focus on. You may wish to discuss this with your visiting tutor during visits/contacts.
Achievements
This section should reflect on the changes in your technical/scientific, professional and personal skills as a result of your placement. It should demonstrate self-awareness by acknowledging mistakes made and showing evidence of attempts to overcome deficiencies. It should identify growth as well as areas for future development.
Confidentiality
If necessary, the report should be completed and checked by the employer prior to submission, which allows the supervisor to assess the report and check it for confidentiality. Students must respect confidentiality and must not include information that the employer regards as commercially sensitive. If there are confidentiality issues, these can be discussed with the supervisor and the visiting tutor. Please also make sure that the Placement Office is informed.
