Reflective writing is the best way to measure learning from experience. There are other ways to demonstrate learning, but to do it in a way that is measurable, and that speaks to [the student’s] capacity to process experience, writing is the key.

Dr. Frank Christianson, English

Incorporating reflective writing into my course has transformed the way students engage with the material—rather than just memorizing concepts, they critically analyze their learning, connect it to real-world applications, and develop a deeper sense of personal and professional growth.

Dr. Jackie Johnson, Biology

Before using reflective writing, I mostly just memorized facts for tests. But once I started reflecting, I began to understand how the concepts applied to my life and goals. It changed the way I learn.
