Remember, for Reflection Assignments, I will expect you to apply specific course concepts, themes, theories, or ideas into your responses. These concepts must be either italicized or bolded and I expect you to include a citation list for each submission. When using information learned in our course readings, in-text citations will not be needed. However, I will expect you to refer to the author or the text in which you are using information.

Please differentiate between your opinion and an idea or concept supported by research or data.
