Weekly Reflection
In a weekly reflection, you summarize the work you did during the previous week and might include the following three parts.
Part #1
First, you should state what you actually accomplished during the previous week while giving particular emphasis on what you learned.
Part #2
Second, you should include questions you have as a researcher. There are two potential audiences for these questions: yourself or your instructor. Questions addressed to yourself demonstrate where your research is heading. Questions directed to your instructor would spring from difficulties you encountered during the research process and for which you need your instructor's assistance to solve. If you are not required to keep weekly reflections as part of the course, you could make an appointment to discuss your questions with your instructor or visit his/her office during regularly scheduled office hours.
Part #3
Third, you should lay out a plan for how you intend to proceed with your research during the next week.
