Note: You can use the titles of the sub-sections as guidance for coming up with
suitable questions. You should ensure that you include questions for each topic,
meaning that you should aim to have around two questions per topic. The above list
is an example of you could organise your questions.

Appendix B – Individual reflection

ATTENTION: This section is critical in order to obtain your individual portfolio grades.
It should contain individual reflection statements from each group member including
their contribution and personal views on the report sections. Below is an example of
what is required from each member. Include the same information, following the
same structure for each member.

Member 1 – M00…… First Name, LAST NAME

You should start your personal reflection with reference to your profile obtained from
the four surveys available through the GOAL system after you click the SURVEY tab.
If you have completed any of these surveys you will have sufficient information to
reflect with respect to your own:

 Learning style – VARK survey available at

https://gsd.mdx.ac.uk/gsdforms/vark.php
 Personality type – MBTI survey available at
https://gsd.mdx.ac.uk/gsdforms/mbti.php
 Teamwork approach – PAEI survey available at
https://gsd.mdx.ac.uk/gsdforms/paei.php
 Team role – Belbin survey available at
https://gsd.mdx.ac.uk/gsdforms/belbin.php

Alternatively, you may choose to discuss your personal reflection based on your own
views, or other sources of information. Please make sure you discuss each one of
the following sections.
