# Purpose

{% hint style="info" %}
Ultimately the **purpose of the reflective project** is to **prepare** you in a practical way for the kind of assignments and research you will do at **college or university**. 
{% endhint %}

It is a great opportunity to conduct your own **personal research** into important issues and present an in-depth body of work in a structured and coherent form.  

In the **reflective projec**t you will get to [**choose your own subject or topic**](https://app.gitbook.com/@faria-education-group/s/cp-reflective-project/finding-a-topic). However, it must be an ethical issue directly linked to your vocational study. You are your own guide here! This is the opportunity for you to **self-direct your study** just as you will at college or university.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **reflective project** gives you the chance to **pursue your own passions and interests**, while also developing your **organisational and time management skills**.  
{% endhint %}

Sound worrying?! There is plenty of support out there. Although this is an independent project, you will have a **supervisor to guide you** and a **large support network of other CP students worldwide**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.fariaedu.com/cp-reflective-project/purpose.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
