Reflection Final Paper

This week, you will consider the role that having a better  understanding of the principles of economics will play in your life and  your career path as you reflect on the team collaboration experience  along with the knowledge that you have gained this session.

Compose your professionally focused responses from the broader  perspective of one of the following three career path areas: business,  technology, or healthcare. Or if you prefer, you may narrow the focus  down to a very specific career path that you are already in or are  seeking.

This week, you will write a reflective essay that addresses the  following questions. Use at least one or two fully developed paragraphs  for each response.

• What are your career goals? 
• 
  
• How do the principles of economics (macro or micro) influence these goals?
• 
  
• What concepts from the course are applicable to your career path?  
• 
  
• Name and describe at least two economic concepts that will translate to  your profession. Explain why these concepts are important and how they  will be helpful to you or to the organization you will work for.
• 
  
• What concepts from the course are applicable to your personal life?  Name and describe at least one economic concept that you consider to be  an important takeaway from this course. Explain why, and describe how  you plan to apply it.
• 
  
• What can you do to continue to reinforce and grow these ideas about  economics and/or about ways to improve team collaboration? 
• 
  
• What are some  of the resources that you can utilize as you continue your education?

Successful assignments will accomplish the following.

• Have a clear focus that clearly links course content knowledge and objectives to career path and personal application.
• Use concrete economic concepts from class discussion and the  readings to address professional goals and areas for economic-competency  development.
• Draw on experience with team dynamics—people collaborating toward a common goal.
• Establish a plan for continuing to scaffold knowledge and develop as a professional.
• Demonstrate articulation (mechanics, spelling, clarity, structure,  and organization, utilizing APA style and grammar to produce a  well-designed and coherent document).
