Integration Paper

Another important component of this class will be a reflection paper based on the course

readings. The paper will demonstrate your ability to think critically and creatively about your chosen topics. The paper includes your original thoughts based on the available evidence presented. Your objective is to establish a relationship between ideas or themes from various course readings. Your work should demonstrate the degree to which you have processed, digested and used this content to further your knowledge of the topic. Additionally, incorporate systems thinking and a biblical worldview to your understanding of the material.

General Guidelines

organizational level.

• Examine critical thinking questions to help you identify your problem statement and

the appropriate areas of research.

• Incorporate “systems thinking” principles
