Reflection is a practice used in education that encourages metacognition and can provide instructors with regular feedback. This qualitative research study explored the ways that community college students used reflections and what they chose to share. These reflections occurred during the fall 2021 semester, when many classes returned to in person after disruptions due to COVID-19. Students' reflections focused on two major contexts. Many reflections provided perceptions of the classroom, primarily in four areas: content, student-student interactions, barriers to success, and equity and inclusion in the classroom. Additionally, students provided insight regarding their experiences, their goals and aspirations, and what reflections meant to them. Overall, reflections offered us the opportunity to better understand how students were engaging with our courses from an academic and personal standpoint.
