Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

Reflection papers are designed to formally consider what they have been learning and to organize it through writing.  The following will help you understand the assignment:

• Papers must be typed, with font 12 and double space;
• Papers should be 5-7 pages long;
• Topics reflected upon may include the information covered in class and in your readings related to the course.
• You should focus on your personal experiences in understanding and applying the knowledge in your learning and life.
• When writing, consider the following:

• What have we studied that is interesting?
• What new things have you learned?
• How has your learning affected preconceptions or misconceptions you brought with you into class
• How does your learning affect you view of the world and the universe?
• Will what you have learned change your behavior in the future?

Ultimately writing these papers encourages you to find what is meaningful to you and thus it adds value to your learning.  Do not simply outline or summarize the material we have covered.  I want to know what the material means to you.

The last day to submit your reflection paper will be Monday, December 12, 2016. Early submission is encouraged but won’t earn additional points.
