Title: Concluding assignment: Learning diary
Course: Teaching Open Science and Research Data Management for Undergraduates > Section: Learning Diary

The primary aim of the learning diary is to reflect on your own learning. Secondly, it provides valuable feedback to the teacher on the course from the students' perspective.

The learning diary is a collection of personal reflections on the course content and assignments. A good learning diary not only refers to what was said in the text, but the student reflects on the content, reflecting on his/her own previous knowledge and experience.

It is useful to keep a diary as you progress through the course, so that any ideas that arise in your own mind are freshly written down.

Write 1-2 pages for each section.

For example, you might write down some of the following in your diary:

- what I learned from this section
- what was important and why
- what questions and reflections arose from the section
- what was unclear (I would like to know more)
- what the issues covered mean to me personally, how I can use them in the future
- how well the assignment worked for my learning

A 1-2 page summary of the course and your own learning should be added at the end of the learning diary.

The diary should be no longer than a maximum of 10 pages in 1.5-point line spacing (12 pt font).
