You must turn in a one-page “Reflection” (250-500 words)– focusing on ONE of the supplemental article readings that appears on the Readings List from the first two months
of readings (not the same article for your synopsis), excluding week #1. Upload a copy of your Reflection to the Canvas folder – include the citation information of the article
upon which you are reflecting (e.g., Manning, 2020). Briefly summarize the article (one paragraph) and then reflect on (THREE paragraphs) what you learned from it re:
1) a theory, hypothesis or finding in it re: the labor market that might inform you in your future professional role (e.g., as a manager/supervisor or job).
2) something in the article that informs your own life when engaged in your personal role as a student, labor force participant, job seeker, employee or household member.
3) how the article somehow relates to either some other article on the reading list or one published article you find on-line (that is about labor force participation, labor supply
preferences, happiness, human capital investment or labor demand).
