Discussion:
Reflection journal: reflecting on and describing personal assumptions
During the first two weeks of class, you will keep a reflection journal or diary. You will reflect on your personal assumptions and how they guide your actions and thoughts. You will turn in a one- to two-page paper summarizing what you have discovered about your personal assumptions during this time. Give examples whenever possible.
