What is a Reflection Paper?

Reflection papers allow you to communicate with your instructor about how a specific article, lesson, lecture, or experience shapes your understanding of class-related material. Reflection papers are personal and subjective[1], but they must still maintain a somewhat academic tone and must still be thoroughly and cohesively organized.

How to Write a Reflection Paper?

Everyone has their own writing routine. If you experience performance boost after a short walk, a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, dancing to your favorite tune, start with these little things that make you happy. Here are some tips that everyone should use:

• Read some paper examples. Before you start working on your own just read examples.
• Don’t focus on deadlines. Though they are important, focus on the topic you are to write about and feelings it evokes.
• Think about the most outstanding readings and materials. Regarding your subject, decide why they are memorable.
• Don’t write an entire essay at once. You may start with an outline on the day it was assigned and add some ideas every day.
• Write an intro after everything else is ready. Your thoughts are clear by that time, and you know where they lead.
• Don’t get too personal. Even if the issue you write about bothers you greatly, always focus on facts first, then sum up your attitudes.
• Write from the first person singular. Do not use slang or colloquial.
