Criminal Justice Reflection Papers:<\/p>\n
Reflection Papers: Students are required to write weekly 2 page critical reflection papers. Reflection papers will be graded on a scale ranging from: Excellent (10); Good (9); Fair (8), to Unsatisfactory (0). Please note that minimum competence for upper-level seminars is considered to be at least Fair (8). Papers not meeting these expectations will be asked to be re-written until minimum competence is clearly demonstrated. The reflection papers must include the following four elements to receive maximum credit:<\/p>\n
A) Summary of readings, chapter, or article. Highlight the key concepts\/theories put forth.<\/p>\n
B) Provide a critique of the chapter, article, or readings. A critique may variously include, a counter-argument to the claims put forth in the reading, chapter, or article, a sympathetic extension of the readings, or a constructive attempt to revise and strengthen the arguments of the readings or documentary. This particular element should engage the reading or documentary episode on its own terms. Please read: \u201cA Note on Writing Critical Reflection Papers\u201d below for guidelines to think about when writing critiques of assigned readings.<\/p>\n
C) Your critical reaction to the reading, chapter, article, or documentary. This component may include some new position on the issue. This section could also include your personal lived experiences as they relate to the topic at hand.<\/p>\n
D) At the end of your analysis, you are required to list at least two important questions stimulated by your reading and written analysis of these readings.<\/p>\n
