Reflection Paper – 40 Points
What is a reflection paper? Reflection papers allow you to reinforce what you have learned through coursework, lectures and personal experience. They are great for synthesizing theoretical knowledge with applied experience and help you organize thoughts methodically to gain more from your practical experiences. Although reflection papers focus on personal feelings and experiences, they often require multiple sources and frequent use of concrete examples.

You may choose the topic of your reflection and relate it to any of our sections from class: Epistemology, Truth, Ethics and Political philosophy.
