In this section, the student must also master the articulation of a reflection, not a description. A reflection shall be a critical and reflective engagement about the Mendix learning experiences and their meaning for the student.

The described learning experiences need to match the Mendix app submitted. This means that the description needs to be an authentic account of the learning in the course. For example, it cannot be that a student reflects on the app development and elaborates how s/he created microflows, but the student’s app does not have a microflow. Inconsistencies like this will be reflected in reduced marks.

3.   Implications for Career

In your own words, think ahead of your future workplace, the job you want to do, and the company you want to work for and reflect on how the Blended Learning lectures helped, prepared, and advanced you in this regard.

4. Assessment of Learning Choice

In your own words, assess your choices in preparation, engagement, and own contributions for the Blended Learning lectures on Mendix. It can include a personal reflection on things that worked for you and things you would do differently considering the unique nature of Blended Learning and the creation of an app.

It is expected that the reflective journal will be around 750 words to present the learning and impact reflections. However, the word limit is not considered a specific criterion in the marking. This means that an assignment with only 500 words, but written concisely and focused tightly on the reflections and insights made, might be of better quality than a longer journal. Hence, students should dedicate time to revising and improving their writing to clearly achieve a reflection, not simply reporting past experiences.

Hints: Longer texts are not necessarily better assignments. Reflections are shorter because they articulate your own awareness of how you think. Markers do not want to read  ‘what’you did in WIL but ‘why’you did it and ‘how’you achieved it. You are NOT writing a manual for Mendix.

Analysing and understanding yourself better through the reflections will make you a better learner for the ‘next’ innovation.

Layout

The assignment must have a cover page with the title of the assignment, student name and ID. Use the following format & presentation:

Students must have  four headings  as  outlined  earlier to  indicate the  different  sections  of their reflection, such as 1) Purpose, 2) Significant Learning Experiences, 3) Implications for Career, 4) Assessment of Learning Choice.

Important note: All points or aspects of the layout not specified are left to the student’s judgment to ensure the professional presentation of the reflective journal.

You must include screenshots as an appendix of:

Put a max of two screenshots on one A4 page; each screen must have a caption explaining what the screenshot shows

1.   Each page of the app

2.   The domain model

3.   Each microflow

4.   Published app to demonstrate that data is entered and have data included

5.   A choice of other screenshots to showcase the app (max. 5 screenshots)

Submission Format and Process

This assessment task evaluates student’s abilities, skills, and knowledge without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students are advised that the use of AI technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. In cases of reasonable doubt and suspicion of students having used any aid of AI technologies in the creation of the assessment, the written self-reflection is replaced by a 10 min oral exam via zoom during the second week of the examination period.

The assignment must be submitted electronically via Turn It In through the Online Submission Folder on the course Blackboard site. Files submitted as email attachments will not be accepted.

Format: Word File ----- NO PDFs

ALSO – Students need to submit their Mendix App created as part of the WIL project.

Name of the app:  Student ID (8 digits) and first and last name. No spaces, use underscore. For example, “44191384_Michael_Smith” - see screenshot below. Facilitators can help you with naming the app.
