However, a reflection can also be assigned to a student such as the class evaluations are at the end of each semester, and while a class evaluation is mainly a review it also has a it of reflection in it. The research in this genre is all from memories and experiences. The audience in a reflection is most likely to bbe the person reflecting. The purpose is to remember so it makes sense that the main audience would be the person writing - occationally
