There will be a short reflection/reaction paper on topics and/or discussions that we have in class or in the reading course material, worth 50 points. The papers should be less than three double spaced typed pages. The idea is to reflect or offer additional thoughts on the topic that you choose. Rather than try to cover too much in these short writing exercises, focus on a topic per a paper and really give it your attention. Objective.
