Reflective Journal Instructions
(min 750 words)
What do I mean by reflective journal?
What I mean is very simple. This is an opportunity for you to think carefully and slowly about what we are studying in a given week. We often ask you as students to problem solve, strategize, or thinking critically by identifying problems or issues, but we rarely ask you to step back and let your mind wander over any topic that has caught your imagination, or that maybe made you uneasy because of its implications.
What I want to see you do is engage in an older, more personal sense of thinking than what we often do today. As Hannah Arendt, one of our authors in this course, would say: thinking can involve entering into a dialogue with yourself, asking questions about what it is that has caught your attention or bothered you, and exploring those questions on your own, interacting with your own thoughts away from group activities and discussion boards.
Assessment criteria and submission requirements
You will be graded on the quality of your effort as it shows up in your entries, not the outcome of what you produce. If you show that you have genuinely engaged with the readings and key course themes, then you will be doing well. No research is required, but you must do the following:
Getting started: topics and approach
Sounds great, you might say, but what do I write on and how do I write it?
Focusing on a part of the reading is always a good way to go. You can also discuss an argument made by an author, or a theory covered in the learning materials.
Just remember this is an introspective processing of how the course is impacting and affecting you. It is more like a long diary entry.
