A detailed assignment brief will be attached. The Entrepreneurial Process (BUSM 1311) Semester 2 2016 Reflective Summary – Assessment 1a (20%) Please consider the following points in preparing your reflective summary Based on experiences and observations from previous semesters the followings are some projected issues that are more than likely to surface when the reflective summary will be marked.Consider the following comments when constructing your reflective summary and try not to make the same mistakes. 1. Level of rigor of academic research to support your argument.  Need at least 10 references to (generally) to reflect a higher level of understanding.  Lecture notes DO NOT constitute an appropriate reference, nor is Wikipedia.  Text and academic journals are a better source of reference rather than Google sourced web addresses. Generally the better reflective papers utilized in-text referencing to support their arguments. 2. Intuitive understanding of key themes discussed  The better efforts highlighted the essence of the key themes rather than just repeated what was in a text a reference or in the lectures.  The better efforts reflected their ability to extrapolate some of the themes beyond the basic threads discussed in the paper.  Try to expand on the themes embracing aligned and tangential thoughts beyond that of the obvious discussion points.  There is no need to define key constructs when those constructs are not discussed in the body of the paper or with reflection of your experiences (AKA a brain dump) 3. Evidence of how the new awareness will be applied to address future challenges Remember address this section and discuss in a reflective nature of the impact of these themes and how they could affect your pathways moving forward Try to juxtapose how you saw these themes before the course commenced as opposed to how you see them now, during the course, and how they will affect your future actions.  Avoid general “motherhood” statements as they indicate a lack of internal inquiry  Always link theory to experiences Although nice to hear, there is no need to comment on the presentation style of the lecturers, unless you directly relate those experiences to your own reflective learning 4. Professional presentation – make sure! Stapled papers just do not cut it One paragraph per point, not a mono-slab of writing Delineation between reference list and body of work  12 point 1.5 spacing requested
