The essay will consist of 6-8 pages double spaced that will demonstrate reflection and application of class concepts
The student will complete a reflection essay related to course readings and lecture concepts. The essay will consist of 8 pages double spaced that will demonstrate reflection and application of
class concepts. The reflective writing should represent an issue of the student’s choice from the course reading, films, and discussions. The work should refer to these and must demonstrate analytical thought on the part of the author. In other words, discuss your ideas in depth; do not simply write up a summary of the readings or class discussion.
The concept of “Indigenous Knowledge” is complex and it is important to consider these concepts carefully via Critical Thinking. Critical Thinking involves the ‘thinking about’, and the ‘questioning of’
knowledge presented, versus the mere ‘acceptance’ of knowledge presented. The process of Critical Thinking is much more in line with Indigenous Knowledge as I encourage students to think for
themselves and to engage in deep reflection.
All sources that you use should be properly cited. The papers should have proper grammar and essay structure, including an introduction, discussion/argument and conclusion.
