REFLECTIVE PAPER
The reflective paper is a thoughtful analysis of the work you have completed in the course and a reflection of your learning and how that learning may be applied presently and in the future. This is more than a mere exercise - it is truly an opportunity for you to summarize your own experience in the course and also reinforce key concepts that you will take with you in your future endeavors. The goal is to have you reflect deeply on what you have learned and experienced in the class. What value did you derive, what lessons did you learn, and/or what realizations did you come to because of this class? How can you use what have you learned? What questions did it bring up? What questions remain unanswered? What are your Top 10 concepts/tools/lessons learned/skills that you would take away from the course and why are they important to you? To develop the reflective paper, you should draw from individual class session takeaways, class discussions, course assignments and projects, experiences with guest speakers and course- related events, and other relevant material. All this should be addressed in the final document, which is typically 3-5 pages in length. The paper should be formatted with the content organized into the sections noted below. As this is an essay document, you should use proper grammar/spelling and the use of both section headers as well as appropriate sub-headings to guide the reader (the instructor).
