In the first week of the course you answered the four guiding questions for the course. (ATTACHED) Now looking back, this is an opportunity for you to reflect on what you have learned and how it has influenced you.
Chose ONE of the guiding questions to zoom in on. In your introduction, make it clear which question you are answering, and what your initial response to it was at the beginning of the course (up to 500 words).
Then write a reflection (between 1000- 2000 words) on how engagement with this course has influenced you and changed your thinking about this question. In your response you should include references to at least three of the authors we have studied in this class, and include a minimum of three quotations (with citations) for each of those authors. If you mention additional authors beyond three you dont have to include quotations, but you should still include citation information for them. You may also make reference to authors w
e havent studied in class, if that is relevant to the question.
These questions we are considering are big ones, and they are complicated! I dont expect you to have the answers. If you are unsure what you think, that is okay. What Im looking for is evidence that are engaging with the ideas youve encountered in this class and assessing your own perspective in the light of this new information. It might be that you still think have the same perspectives on the questions that you did at the beginning of the course, or maybe they have completely changed
but it will hopefully still be the case that you would be able to reflect on which ideas did or did not influence your views, and why. Be less concerned about getting it right showing the workings of your learning process. If you are feeling muddled or confused about the guiding questions, that is okay, too just explain some of the things that are in tension or confusing for you.
