The reflection paper is designed to encourage both of these processes while helping you move your understanding of various topics from theory to practice.
There's some freedom to develop your reflection paper in the way that you want; however, there are guidelines and recommendations. The paper should be an original work between 3 and 5 pages (double-spaced) in which you:
Demonstrate your understanding of the content
Reflect on its significance
Discuss its application in a specific professional environment
A typical paper might demonstrate the experiential reflection questions of What?, So What? and Now What?
