Your Reflection represents your attempt to demonstrate the ways in which your Signature Project helped you achieve the desired outcomes for your General Education course.There are several approaches to Reflection. One involves an attempt to simply start writing about the process of creating your Signature Project. Try to describe:

1. what you felt about it, 
2. how you chose to begin, 
3. what sorts of changes, new thoughts or useful practices became a part of your process? 
4. If it seems relevant, share details about how the work resonated beyond "school."
5. explore how the work helped you in other courses. 

Once you have reflected in ways that help you write a kind of General Overview, you might use a numbered list to help you describe your particular forms of learning, according the the Outcomes for the ePortfolio assignment.

For this ePortfolio Pilot, students are asked to demonstrate learning in the area of Critical Thinking. Teachers, to input your Outcomes, you may want to use the AAC&U's LEAP Project's VALUE rubric associated with Critical Thinking. You may also wish to consult the specific language found in the (in-process) General Education Committee's CCC document. When you have finessed your Outcomes, you will want to share with students a series of open-ended questions that encourage them to reflect upon how their work in the Signature Project has helped them to achieve the goals outlined by the "outcomes" language. Thus, direct students to go to the Outcomes page (@ Left, but it also pops up as a rubric within the Assignment page, once you associate the outcomes with that assignment) and contemplate the language there. Ask them to identify an aspect of Critical Thinking they can most assertively discuss, and encourage them to describe how their experiences within the context of the Signature Project helped them achieve that goal. 

Finally, ask students to: Consider providing some conclusive language that describes how you imagine your encounters with these areas of learning and how they will help you as you continue to evolve as an academic, individual, professional, citizen, and in any other ways that the General Education Curriculum has shaped your sense of self, your ethos. Revise for voice and tone, and remember to proofread before publishing. Tidy up your design, remember to check margins, spellcheck, and attend to matters of style and appearance so as to offer the best possible public performance! 

Here, you will find a Reflection page I used in a Sample ePortfolio I used when I assigned the project to my Fall 2011 First Year Composition students. Though there are many ways to engage in meaningful reflection, this page offers 2 method options that may be helpful. Note: We used the full range of UELOs for that project (they were, at that time, simply Gen Ed ELOs, but the uptake is happening!).
