==Description==
The Reflection Assignment Type allows the teacher to specify how many students a reflection group will have. The students will be asked to read a text and then write a reflection about it. The student can then submit their reflection. When the amount of submitted reflections equals the number of group members, a new forum will be created and the submitted reflections will be added as topics. The students can now give comments on each others reflections, and this will hopefully generate a discussion. When at least one comment is made on each of the other group members reflections the student will be able to confirm them self ready for grading. When the teacher enters the assignment, a list with the students who are ready to be graded will be shown. The student will be removed from this list when he/she is graded. This makes it easier for the teacher to manage large classes. Student can view their grades and feedbacks within the assignment.
