Reflection Paper: 40%

Throughout the semester students should make time periodically to reflect on their

experiences and growth as beginning professional social workers. Reflection

is closely

linked to the concept of

learning from experience. The course presents an opportunity

to

think about where

students have started out and where they have arrived…what they have

learned and accomplished in the course, where they see themselves going in terms of their

writing skill

and as professional social workers, and how they are experiencing the process of

these coming together, overlapping, and merging. They may consider the following

questions:

1.

In this writing course, what have I learned?

2.

What was the one thing that really

surprised me about my writing?

3.

What do I believe I still need to work on more?

4.

What have I taken for granted about my writing skill; how may my perception about

how well I write hinder my academic and professional success?

5.

What does it mean for me to kn

ow that my

writing may be my first

–

and perhaps my

only

–

chance to present myself.

The reflection paper should be 3

-

5 pages in length, double

–

spaced, 1” margins, Times Roman,

12 pt. font. Title and reference pages, as well as any appendices (if appli

cable), are not included

in the page count.
