Description

In Factfulness, Hans Rosling encourages us to feel humble, curious, and inspired when we discover our own

ignorance or misconceptions about the world. Our three major assignments are aimed at practicing those three

qualities while also addressing the three “big questions” stated in our course description in our class syllabus.

(MP1 Video Explanation)

Big Question #1

How does an inaccurate or incomplete view of the world shape how we move through the world? What voices or

perspectives are we missing? What history have we forgotten, ignored, or silenced?

Prompt: What have you learned about your own knowledge gaps from our coursework so far? (See details below

for assistance with how to focus this prompt.)

Requirements: In a Personal Written Reflection, address this question above. Include at least three specific references to the course texts. Make connections to your own lived experience. As a guide, remember the work you did in the Go Beyond Padlet. Aim for 1000-1200 words. (Remember you can only go 20 words beyond the limit without it negatively affecting your score.)

Focus

The focus of this project is the practice of humility. Consider that humility is an action. Being humble

means entering a situation or conversation with a willingness to be wrong, to learn, and seek

understanding.

Personal Reflection is a specific type of essay writing.

1. A personal reflection is an opportunity to reflect with a fresh perspective on any event, collection of

knowledge, experience, thoughts, feelings, etc.

2. A personal reflection asks you to slow down, pause, and reflect.

3. By slowing down and reflecting, you are seeking to gain perspective, a new way to respond more

effectively, seeking to promote your own learning and understanding, and using Rosling to help

reshape what a future perspective or action might be.

A personal reflection essay includes:

1. Citing, which includes using summary, paraphrase, direct quote, Rosling’s Factfulness.

2. Direct and clear personal connection to the specific concepts from Rosling you are choosing to

interact with.

3. Showing relevance and personal connection between personal experience and the core text(s).

As a way to reflect and practice humility, consider the following as a guide, not an absolute, for drafting

this personal reflection.

1. How does an inaccurate or incomplete view of the world shape how we move through the world?

2. What voices or perspectives are we missing?

3. What history have we forgotten, ignored, or silenced?

4. What have you learned about your own knowledge gaps from our coursework so far?

5. Ask yourself these questions: “What don’t I know? What are the reasons for why I don’t know it?

6. How can practicing humility help me to learn more?”
