Steps in Writing a Reflective Essay
1. Start your self-reflection paper with an introductory paragraph. This introduction should help set the stage for the reader and should contain the main point of the paper. This would be a good paragraph in which to include information about how the class and the material impacted your life, whether it reinforced your current views or caused you to change your way of thinking. This can be written by answering the question assigned by the lecturer.
2. Write up a paragraph or two/three/ four about the impact the professor, classroom discussions or the textbook material had on you during the course. If your opinions on different subjects changed due to these factors be sure to provide your previous opinion and explain why you changed your stance. You may summarize things you have already known or read. In addition, the details which are supported the main point proposed in step one maybe provided.
3. Give feedback in your paper and share your opinions and ideas about how the class might be improved. Share what you liked about the class and what material helped you learn the most. Finish the paper by writing a conclusion that summarizes the main points of the paper.
