demonstrate that you have knowledge of each concept by giving examples and details.

Reflection Guidelines

“Responding” to the textbook, readings, class activities, and discussions is not the same as writing a summary. It may involve summarizing what the author has written, but it goes beyond that, to giving a personal response or reaction to the content of the text. You are being asked to give your personal thoughts and opinions about the information and ideas presented by the author in addition to demonstrating that you have a strong understanding of the concepts you cover.

Your reflection should be no shorter than 900 words. It needs to be double spaced using 12 times new roman font with 1 inch margins all around. The cover page does not count toward the minimum length.

As you read each chapter make notes about what you think are the main themes and ideas. You must include at least 3 concepts in every reflection. Particularly make note of points about which you feel strongly, either positively or negatively. Try to write your responses as soon as possible after you have read the chapter, even if you have to go back and modify your reactions after the topic has been discussed with the instructor or your peers. If you wait too long, you may forget the ideas and opinions about a given topic.

One half of the reflection should be a summary of the concepts you feel are the most important. You should demonstrate that you have knowledge of each concept by giving examples and details. The other half should consist of your personal thoughts and opinions about the information and ideas you write about.
