Why Reflection Matters

Reflection is the process of considering or thinking of previous actions. The importance of reflection is the value that it provides us to learn and re-evaluate and apply this knowledge to future actions. This process was recently required to be applied to both my peers and my own academic work.

How I applied this to my own work

It is through this process that I was able to gain a better understanding and knowledge of how to present this information in this style, from accessing the work of my peers it provided me with the knowledge to draw comparisons between their work and my own and I was able to see my strengths and weaknesses when compared. I now understand the importance of audio quality when presenting work in a visual medium as it tends to lead to the audience being disengaged and makes the information difficult to be understood clearly by those listening. It is from this, I have realised that I need to work more on my presentation being at professional standard despite the quality of information as it does make a difference to the ability of the audience trying to interpret the presentation. Despite this weakness, I was also able to find a strength being that I was able to concisely show what my digital artefact is and how it will be done.

Reviewing peers

When evaluating my peers I used the framework of the two principles of being positive and constructive, as I wanted to ensure these comments would be of actual value to my peers. Upon reflection of these comments I feel they could have drawn more from the subject readings and materials but thought all suggestion provided enough value for my peers to be able to take something away from it.

In order to provide better feedback in the future, I would further research the topic areas of my other students to be better able to provide engaging feedback. Below are a few examples of the comments I have provided on other students academic works.

  1. This comment and review was based around a project that is providing game reviews through video essay. https://studying900095815.wordpress.com/2022/08/18/under-review/

2. This comment and review was centred around a project that was looking into the fall of Halo. https://matthewdwarren.wordpress.com/2022/08/19/the-fall-of-halo/

3. This review was surrounding a topic that was to do with the role that gender plays within the gaming industry.

.Overall, it is from this process of reviewing and evaluating my peers I was better able to also evaluate my work and is a tool I will be continuing to use when looking back on other academic work.
