# Reflection

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Reflections on Planning and Progress Form (RPPF)** has to be submitted to the IB with your final project. 
{% endhint %}

The RPPF asks you to consider the following: 

* **challenges** you have faced during the process, 
* how you **overcame** them
* what you have **learned**.

**Reflection is a constant process** and it helps you to plan and refine your work. It is also important because the RPPF is used to assess **Criterion E: Engagement and Reflection,** which looks at your capacity to evaluate your ideas and decisions as well engage personally with the issues involved.

{% hint style="success" %}
Each time you have a **formal** **meeting** with your supervisor you must **keep a record** on the form of your discussion, progress and next steps. The RRPF is provided to **document the discussions** with your supervisor, and this can be done on ManageBac.
{% endhint %}

Additionally, you are encouraged to use the **researcher’s reflection space**. Although this is not submitted or formally assessed, it can help you to keep track of your thoughts, like a journal, and prepare for meetings with your supervisor.
