This case study reports on the use of reflective diaries as a powerful learning tool for final year students studying a business in the biosciences module. Engaging science students with the power of reflection (Moon 2003) helps them better understand their own learning and prepares them for problem solving and on-going personal development once in employment. Despite the wide use of reflective practice in medical and nurse practice (Saylor 1990) and evidence of benefits in secondary science teaching (Parkinson 2002 Desouza and Czerniak 2003) the use of reflection in Science Higher Education appears limited.
