Students are expected to have completed the assigned readings prior to attending that class session – and be prepared to comment critically. Rather than providing mere summaries of course readings, students will be asked to analyze and synthesize information from the assigned readings while reflecting on their own lived experiences using personal examples, situations they observe in organizations and within their communities, and current events. Students will submit a two page, double-spaced critical reflection of the assigned readings. There is a maximum of two points that can be earned for each critical reflection paper.  Note: It is imperative that you explicitly reference the chapter(s) on which you will reflect. This should be made explicit early on in your reflection paper. Provide direction for the reader. Also, you cannot simply reference “Comeaux” for your within text citations. This approach is not correct. I am the book editor, but I am not the contributing author for all chapters in the book. Please include the proper within text citation, identifying the appropriate contributing author(s) for the selected chapter(s). Lastly, you do not have to reflect on all of the assigned weekly readings (optional). Instead, you can reflect on one or more of the readings for the week.
