# Creating a Reflection

![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/22825485991831.png)

A [**Reflection**](/v1/docs/reflection-faq) allows test authors to assign their rostered students a reflection activity after they complete an assessment. Test authors can create Reflections with multiple choice, open ended, or both question types.

Reflection activities are unscored since they are designed to guide students through metacognitive thinking about their process and performance on original or retest assessments. Only one **Reflection** can be assigned to an assessment. Reflection activities appear in the student portal.

## **Student Experience**

### **Taking a Reflection**

Students complete a **Reflection** like any other multiple-choice or constructed-response assessment. They receive teacher-created questions and, if applicable, have their **Score** **Summary** available.

If the score summary is unavailable, students can still complete questions and submit their responses so students can reflect on their performance, set improvement goals, and share responses with their teacher.

**Step 1**: Students log into their account and click on **My Assignments**.

**Step 2**: Students select the **Reflections** tab.

**Step 3**: Students select the **Reflection** title. They can use the drop-down menus to filter by subject or status. Student can view their **Reflection** status as **In Progress** or **Submitted**.

**Step 4**: Students complete the **Reflection** questions. They can change the size of the windows using the **small**, **medium**, and **large** buttons. Students scroll down to see all the questions.
