Assignments/Reflection Post: Each week’s students are expected to upload a reaction/reflection paper on the weekly readings supplemented from current events such as media news, scientific research or others. This is not a summary of the assigned readings but your own opinions on the main issues discussed in the course materials. You need to explain why you agree or disagree on some of the issues discussed in the assigned readings. You will use the ideas and opinions expressed in this reaction/reflection paper during class discussion. Once you posted your reflection you should also respond to at least one of your peer’s reflection post. Please state why you agree or disagree with their perspective of the topic of discussion.
