Module Reflective Writing Assignment

These are reflective writing opportunities. Use these as experimental spaces - ask questions, think about readings, reflect on your own work, expand on ideas brought up during discussions, prepare for upcoming assignments, consider new ideas.

Your writings should be:

·  About 400-600 words long

· Related to the readings, assignments, and/or discussions from this week

· Evidence of critical thinking

You can:

· Expand on what you mentioned this week on the discussion board

· Discuss your own experiences readings, writing, and working this week (time management, understanding of materials, etc.)

You should avoid:

· Copy / pasting from other submissions

· Focusing on a previous week's readings only (you can connect this week to a previous week, though)

· Unprofessional discourse

· Conversational language (you, I, etc.)
