Purpose and Goal:
Your journal entries aim to help you connect class materials with your personal observations.
Consider how the materials covered in class prompt you to think about specific topics.
The goal is to foster concrete connections between theory and your own experiences.
2. Answering the Question:
Address the following question in your journal: “What have the materials covered in class this week prompted me to consider?”
Reflect on the content, concepts, and themes addressed during the week.
Be honest and thoughtful in your response.
3. Grading and Expectations:
Journal entries will not be graded for quality like a formal paper.
You’ll receive full credit if you complete all assigned entries sincerely.
Credit may be reduced if entries are missing or too brief, or if they intentionally avoid the topic.
Unintentional errors in writing won’t negatively impact your grade.
4. Emphasis on Effort and Participation:
The journal rewards effort and active engagement.
It’s a space where improvement matters more than initial writing skills.
Dedicate yourself sincerely, regardless of your starting point.
5. Interactive Reflection:
Use the journal to reflect on:
Issues raised in class
Your life experiences
Course readings
Compare, question, speculate, and form well-supported opinions.
Remember, the journal is a valuable tool for connecting theory and practice. It encourages critical thinking and self-awareness. Feel free to explore ideas, share insights, and engage with the material!
