Each student will submit an individual critical reflection about their experience of working in project management groups/social work teams. The reflection will draw on the student’s personal experience, experience of this group project, group work literature and social work literature. The assessment is also an avenue for you to provide your thoughts and ideas about your future professional development as an individual social worker moving into the social work field.
