A reflective essay is a type of paper that showcases your individuality, actions, and impacts on what you have learned, read and researched throughout the time period required. In the end, by reading your reflective essay, the audience finds out details about what you learned from the material you interacted with. As opposed to different types of papers you may have written in the past, a reflective essay is not based on certainties or examinations. Instead, it focuses on your personality and how it fit with the information within the lessons. It does not focus on any one traits, theory or lesson, it briefly discusses all that was learned.
For this assignment you will type your answer directly into the text box needs to be at least 500 words in length. Your reflection paper covers the first four weeks of class, so you have all the lessons, assigned readings, textbook and then any research that you did. You will still need to have in-text citations and reference page.
