How should I review my activities?

On completion of an activity it is worthwhile to review, reflect upon and evaluate the experience and the outcomes arising from it. You might wish to consider the following example to understand how to review your activities.

Based on the activities listed in the Plan B example of the advice on 'Action Planning', you may wish to consider the following in order to gain an objective assessment of the activity undertaken:

• You could consult your tutor and/or fellow students who witnessed the presentation

• Points explored might include:
  1. The content of the presentation
  2. The delivery of the presentation
  3. The use of visual aids, audience questioning etc.
  4. Revisions and considerations for future presentations.

• You could carry out this review of the activity on your own, but the result may be too subjective.

• An objective review, at this stage, is likely to enhance the processes of reflection and evaluation.
