Guidance on completing the Reflection (Learning Journal) 2
An example of a topic and sub­topics
The topic for each tutorial (e.g. ‘Self and Identity) is too large to be covered in your Learning Journal.
Therefore, you need to reflect on a sub­topic, not the whole tutorial topic.
Below is an example of a ‘topic and ‘sub­topics taken from the Tutorial 2 Workbook.
The topic for Tutorial 2 is ‘Self and Identity.
The sub­topics related to this topic are:
a. Spotlight Effect & the Illusion of Transparency
b. Self­Concept ­ Self and culture
c. Self­esteem
d. Self­presentation
Your Learning Journal entry for the topic ‘Self and Identity will focus on only one of the above ‘subtopics.
There is a similar format for Tutorials 3 and 4 in the relevant Tutorial Workbooks.
There is a model Learning Journal entry in the Tutorial 2 Workbook to provide you with guidance on what
is expected.
