Reflections on my Education
In this assignment you will reflect on some of your educational experiences and relate them to some of course readings. This can help you gain a deeper understanding of your own education, as well as clarify the meaning of the different theories and issues we have discussed.
Write about your own educational experience, focusing on at least seven topics we have discussed in class. Compare and contrast your experience with concepts from the course readings. Bring in quotes from our readings and discuss how they relate to your life experience.
Explain
why you make that particular connection. For example, concepts
from the readings can help you understand why a certain experience was
important; or your experience may be different from what research and
theory postulates, why would that be? etc. Make sure you cite the source
of your quote. Use APA citation format.
Reflect on at least seven different topics and make connections to at least 7 different quotes from our course readings. Make sure you bring in concepts from different readings.
Approximately 1200 words, it may be longer.
