I use learning journals as a method of assessment in several of my modules: they reward continuous engagement, facilitate creative and critical risk-taking, and promote self-reflexivity. Read more about how and why I use journals here, or watch this screencast on how the learning journal scaffolds my module ‘Global Literatures’.
The below film, ‘Student Talk: Learning Journals’, shows past students talking about their experiences and advice. It was created in 2017/18 through a PLanT Project with Part 3 student Hannah Ashraf. Find out more about our project here.
