Pick an assigned course reading and write a one to two page 'reflection' on that reading. What was interesting about it? Is it relevant for your work in some way? You may write about one reading, or compare and contrast more than one.
While it's OK to say some critical things about the paper, keep in mind that you can rip everything to shreds. The best paper has flaws. It's a better use of your time to focus on what is good about a paper than what is wrong with it.
Each reflection will be graded on a check/plus/minus scale. Most reflections will receive a check--that means well done, good reflection. A plus means "you impressed me." A minus means the contribution was not up to the expected standard in some way. You can earn up to 20 points via reflections over the course of the term. A minus is worth one point, a check is two, and a plus is three. Reflections are due at the start of class on the day the reading is assigned, and will not be acccepted late.
