Individual Reflection Paper
This assignment is intended to stimulate your thinking about the conceptual and pragmatic
aspects of the assigned readings and discussions, and their implications for your
sustainability actions and orientation. There is one written reflections assignment covering the
text, Making Sustainability Work by Epstein and Buhovac. You are to address the major
concept(s) for each chapter and introduction.
For each chapter and introduction, you are to take major sustainability concepts, explain
them, reflect on the concept(s) and then apply to your business organization or personal
sustainability plan (PSP). The paper should be 12-15 pages in length, not including the title
and reference pages; 1” margins and line spacing of 1.5. Follow APA style for citing sources
and references, including the text.
Your papers should not be simply a paraphrasing of the assigned readings. Instead, your
reflection should be your thoughts and opinions on the readings, the extent to which they
conflict with or corroborate other reading you have done or experiences you have had, the
extent to which they have some utility for you (e.g., conceptual development, application
potential), and so forth.
While you are required to explicitly focus on the assigned text reading, you are free to draw
on other readings — from other courses, your job, personal reading – as you feel appropriate.
The assignment is meant to stimulate your thinking of both the conceptual and
pragmatic/applied aspects of the assigned course readings. However, contain your
reflections within the scope of the readings covered.
