Reflective writing or exam wrappers appear to be a valuable exercise that may benefit students. This notion was evaluated in parallel within five engineering classrooms of different size and subject matter. The improvement or quantifiable impact of the reflective writing exercise differed from class to class. Despite this, overall results suggest that exam wrappers lend themselves well to improving learning, both for the students and instructors in the context of engineering classrooms.
