Assignment #1: Reflection Papers
Rationale: The purpose of this assignment are threefold:
(1) to provide
you with an opportunity to express your own thoughts regarding an issue(s)
raised in the reading by the author(s). (2) to enhance your development of
critical thinking and self-consciousness that go beyond strict laws of academic
writing by speaking of your mind. (3) to encourage you to review information
from your own perspective and empathetically share your views with others.
Facts and lived experiences should guide your personal way of
self-understanding. You will demonstrate your writing skill development, knowledge growth
and application of social work methods
by completing this assignment.
