Assessment Task Write a discursive essay that presents a critical analysis of professionalism and reflection. Then consider this analysis in relation to your own development, in relation to past, present, and future (5000 words total). The total maximum word count for this assessment is 5,000 words (+10%). There is no minimum word count but we strongly recommend that you utilise the word count allowance so you can fully address all the assessment criteria. You may include an appendix, which goes at the end of your essay after the reference list, and this does not count toward the maximum 5000-word count and it is not eligible to be formally marked and therefore count toward the final grade. The appendix may be used for an action/professional development plan, and/or extracts from your reflective diary if you have decided to use one.– > Assessment Criteria Your assignment essay will be marked against the following assessment criteria.
