Reflective journal guidance
Have a look at the information from the IATL handbook on what is a reflective journal.

Referencing
In your assessed work when you write about an idea that someone else thought of you need to refer to where you learnt about it. We would like you to use the Harvard system of referencing. This is explained on the library website here. This is essential in your essay and a good idea to incorporate into your reflective journal too.

A really good way to keep track of your references and save time and effort organising your reference section is to use a reference management program. Endnote Online and guidence on using the program is available through the library website here

Submission
Essays and electronic journals (if chosen format) are to be submitted via the coursework management component of Tabula.

Arrangements will be made for submission of hard copy reflective journals in person as required.
