Your reflection paper is meant to be analytical description of what you have learnt from this course, which means that you have to include description, analysis and evaluation in your paper and to go beyond simple description. A description of an class activity, workshop, or presentation is about what something looks like or about. An analysis is about how some of the things work with thinking in depth and from different perspectives.
