So, for example, if you submit your reflection 1 minute after the deadline, it will be considered one day late; if you submit it 1 day and 1 minute after the deadline, it will be considered two days late. AI Policy: the use of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) to help write your reflection is strictly prohibited; any suspicion that AI has been used will be promptly reported and investigated. The Assignment You will submit a short reflection towards the middle of the term. Reflections should be around 500 words, but no more than 800 words. The goal of this reflection is to bridge theory and practice by critically reflecting on some aspect of the course material from the first part of the course (lessons 1- 5) and linking it to a personal lived experience, current event, or pop culture. First, you will choose some aspect from the relevant course material a topic, idea, view or argument that resonated with you. Second, you will explain how this aspect applies to a real-world issue. For example, you might discuss how your chosen aspect from the course material (a) gives you insight into or makes you rethink a personal experience; (b) is relevant to a real life controversial social or political issue; (c) relates to a current event or topic in the news; (d) shows up in movie, TV show, or book; (e) influences pop culture; (f) plays out in daily life; (g) has practical implications for real people; (h) changes how you act in real life circumstances.
