Diaries and logs have been used in a number of different learning contexts. In completing diaries and logs for foreign language classes, students are asked to record the activities that they do to study, practice and/or improve their ability in the target language. In the case of a degree in Modern Languages and Translation at a university in central Spain a variety of options were recently offered to 76 students: a daily log, a weekly summary, or a weekly report on research into language learning strategies. This paper discusses the variations proposed and it reports the students' choices, their opinions of the usefulness of the overall activity and their impressions of whether the activity helped them to increase certain aspects of learner autonomy. The majority of the students opted to complete a daily log, and a questionnaire revealed that they were generally positive about the activity overall and its effectiveness in terms of learner autonomy.
