Honours degrees should not be confused with the Latin honors attached to degrees in the US and some other countries. Many universities and colleges offer both honours and non-honours bachelor's degrees. In most countries where honours degrees are granted, they imply a higher level of achievement than a non-honours degree.
A reflective journal is a tool that students are encouraged to use to help them understand not just what they have learned while studying but also how they learned it by reflecting on the learning experience itself.
Journal entries are a form of reflective writing, in that you can use them to consider and respond to something you have read or learned. However, journal entries should not merely summarize what you have read, nor should they focus only on your feelings.
