    Recording and Reporting
    You must keep records of your activities and achievements, including a list of the principal
    activities undertaken and take photos whenever possible. You will be meeting with your CAS
    advisor for at least one interim review of your progress and again for a final review. You must
    provide evidence of your achievement of the eight CAS learning outcomes, (see page 6). This
    evidence can be in a variety of forms. You can make scrapbooks, photo essays, videos/DVDs or
    just standard written reflections. Evidence and reflections will be stored electronically on CAS
    Manager.

    Reflections
    You must reflect on your CAS experiences. Experiential learning is at the heart of CAS.
    Experiential learning involves much more than just planning and carrying out the activity itself.
    It also involves personal observation and reflection of your feelings and interactions, analysis of
    your perceptions, identifying your achievements, outstanding issues, personal strengths and
    challenges, evaluating your actions and thinking about your new understandings. During the
    project, you should note down your feelings, thoughts, and observations you have made. Once
    you have completed your meaningful reflections you should then apply this learning to the next
    activity or situation.

    Reflections may not come naturally to you. To help you get started you should consider the
    following key questions:
    hat did I plan to do?
    hat did I do?
    hat were the outcomes, for me, the team I was working with, and others?

    Other questions to ask would be:
    ow successful was I in achieving my goals? hat difficulties did I encounter and how
    did I overcome them?
    hat did I learn about myself and others through this activity/project? hat abilities,
    attitudes and values have I developed?
    Did anyone help me to think about my learning during this activity/project? If so, who
    helped and how did they help?
    ow did this activity/project benefit others?
    Did I maintain full attendance? ow many sessions have I missed? as I punctual? ow
    would I summarize my effort and commitment?
    hat might I do differently next time to improve?
    ow can I apply what I have learned in other life situations?
    hat have I learned about development issues that are evident in our local community?
    ow do I feel about this? hat are my views on these issues? hat have I done to
    address these issues?

    Reflect at the end of each activity, or after every 10 hours for longer-running activities. An
    activity worth 20 hours would require 2 reflections. Reflections are a huge part of CAS and you
    will learn how to do it and how to improve.
