How do I maximise my marks for 'reflection'?

When the examiners for EPQ specify that your project should be 'reflective', they are saying that they need you to show evidence that you are thinking about and learning from the process of researching and writing/creating your project. This is where the progress diary comes in. It is important to write a little bit down every time that you make progress with your project, simply stating what the day's successes and failures were, and how you feel that the project is progressing. A solid reflective diary entry will show the examiner that you are considering how this project is impacting on your personal devleopment and skills.
