Course Assignments
Reflective Writing Assignments There are two (2) reflective writings assigned in this course (due weeks 2 and 4). True reflection requires analysis and higher-level thinking, as well as self-awareness and risk taking. Genuinely reflective writing typically involves “revealing” anxieties, errors, and weaknesses, as well as strengths and successes. The reflective writing should be 3 to 4 pages in length, not counting title page and references. APA format required (title page, citations in body of paper, and reference list). Should include subheadings and be written in a scholarly manner. First person (I) is acceptable for these papers and, in fact, is expected. Although the focus of these reflective writings is self-analysis, cited references should be included to support your analysis. See the rubric for reference expectations and specific criteria. The reflective writing will be scored from 0 to 20 points.
