Over the semester, you have explored how and why entrepreneurship occurs, how entrepreneurship varies across different contexts and times, and your own entrepreneurial interests. For this assignment, you will synthesise this knowledge by reflecting on your learning and how it has contributed to your individual development in the field of entrepreneurship.

The two examples should include:
• a learning experience where you discovered something about your personal entrepreneurial identity;

You can use the 4Rs reflection framework outlined below to support your reflection, or another model of your choosing.
Tips for writing your reflection:
Reflection is a crucial capacity for successful entrepreneurs. This unit has emphasised the importance of reflection and reflective practice as a key entrepreneurial skill. By purposively reflecting on active experiences, you can consolidate knowledge and build understanding.
Practising reflection and reflective writing throughout the semester will assist you when you come to write your final reflection. Activities in the weekly workshops are designed to support you with practising reflection regularly.
Strong critical reflections will move beyond simple description of the learning experiences to analyse how and why these experiences were impactful. To do this, you will need to apply relevant concepts and tools from the unit into your reflection.
You can use the 4Rs reflection framework to support your reflection, or another model of your choosing.
The 4Rs framework for reflective writing involves four key elements:
1. Reporting and responding to a critical issue or experience,
Report (describe) the experience and explain why it is important to your personal entrepreneurial identity / approach to entrepreneurship. Give your initial response to the experience or issue.
What happened? Why is it relevant? Respond to the incident or issue by making observations, expressing your opinion, or asking questions
2. Relating this issue or experience to disciplinary knowledge in this field,
Relate the experience to your own discipline knowledge, skills, and experience of entrepreneurship.
How does this connect to your knowledge of the entrepreneurship field or your professional/personal experiences of this field?
3. Reasoning about causes and effects of the experience according to relevant theories
or tools, and,
Reason about (discuss) the experience to show an understanding of how it relates to your knowledge of the discipline.
