Third Short Reflection Response

Third Short Reflection Response  Due: Format: Worth: Friday, September 11 by 11:59 p.m. (submit an electronic version of your response, as either a PDF or a Word document, on Blackboard) no more than half a page, single spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font, 1 inch margins (papers over one page will not be graded); header must include: your name, the date, the course code 2% of final grade Answer one of the following questions (and I’d suggest doing so BEFORE completing the week’s reading): This is a three-part question. Describe a courageous (or cowardly) person you know. What is good (or in the case of the coward, bad) about their behavior? What does the courageous person bring into the world, or what wouldn’t happen if they were cowardly? This is a three-part question. Describe a moderate (or self-indulgent) person you know. What is good (or in the case of the self-indulgent person, bad) about their behavior? What does the moderate person bring into the world, or what wouldn’t happen if they were self-indulgent? Students are required to use gender-neutral language. For instance, use “human” and “humankind” instead of “man” and “mankind,” and, when appropriate, “she” over “he.” The purpose of these Reflection Responses is to encourage students to start thinking independently thought, to stay involved with the course and to keep on top of the readings. Unless specifically directed to do so in the question, answer the question in your own words and with your own reasoning, drawing on experiences that will be familiar to your reader. Aim to not just say what you think; instead, aim to say what is true and to persuade your reader of that truth. Responses will be graded as Pass or Fail. A passing grade will answer the question, show independent thought, that the student has read the text, and that they have applied themself. Incomplete and incoherent responses will fail. A pass is worth 2% of the student’s final grade; a fail, 0%. Students may be required to share their response on the course discussion board. 1
