The first distinction is simply in length: at 892words, Student A’s reflection closes with a length justification (again with an eye to a grade):“Though I have not quite achieved the expected word count for this reflection, I believe what Ihave written concisely conveys my point of view and demonstrates the aspects of a proficientreflective practice.” Student B’s reflection clocks in at 1447 words. The prompt was not exactlythe same; instead of asking students to place themselves on a scale of reflective proficiency, theprompt asked students to revisit their goals.
