Reflection and PDP
Reflection is an essential part of your life so that you can learn from your success and mistakes.
During your studies it is important to gather feedback about your performance so that you can improve your practice. If you are disappointed with a grade you receive do not just ignore the feedback, use it to improve your performance.
