WRITING

Compose a personal reflection on course materials, themes, questions, or concepts that focuses on your own experiences and thoughts about what has been read and discussed.

While concrete engagement with materials is required, the focus of your writing should be on thinking through your own personal responses to, and reflections on, course content.

When composing your writing, try to think carefully about things that may have been surprising, curious, particularly engaging, etc.

Carefully and critically consider why they struck you in the way they did.

If some materials brought to mind other experiences, readings, films, art, courses, etc., try to consider why you made those connections, or what those connections might tell us or reveal.

This assignment does not require a central argument, nor does it have to maintain a traditional “academic tone.” You are permitted to be creative in how you approach your reflection.

Keep in mind that although the format does not need to follow a traditional essay structure, there should still be an intentional organization and flow to your writing
