Critical Reflection Papers: These reflection papers are a chance for students to demonstrate that they both comprehend the readings and that they can compare the readings and analyze the common themes across the readings and other course content. These essays are not research papers however, students can draw upon sources or empirical evidence from beyond the course readings. These essays are not mere summaries of the readings; the purpose is to develop a critical analysis of the material and an original and critical ‘take’ or argument on the week’s content to broader themes discussed and studied in the course. The papers must be a minimum of between 1200-1500 words in length (not including the bibliography).
