Think about your experience throughout the semester, from beginning to where you are now – address the following questions in the second page of your final reflection:

1. What is important about what you are doing this semester? 2. Where could you apply the knowledge and skills you are gaining in the future? 3. Do you notice any patterns? (This could be professional or personal – what have you noticed about yourself, your work habits, your work style, preferences, etc.) 4. How well are you doing? Put yourself in your preceptor’s shoes – how would you

evaluate your performance this semester so far? Be honest. 5. Based on this experience, what will you do next? (i.e., Has your practicum experience solidified career plans for you? Altered career plans? What will you do the same/differently in the future?)
