Homework: RED History of Planning Reflection
What is a Reflection paper? Do not write a summary of the reading or a set of disconnected thoughts or a question. Media cst (cst.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/wc-writing-reflection-papers.pdf) have provided the following suggestions (edited for length, and some language altered to make it germane to our class):
In 1 or 2 sentences, summarize the main idea(s) in the reading in your own words using precise descriptive language. After that, consider some of the following questions:
A. Does the reading challenge your thinking in any way? Does it provide information that changes the way you think about planning and development history? Be specific in your answer.
B. Is there an important question that arises as you read this chapter/article?
C. Is there something that you want to criticize or disagree with? Does anything make you uncomfortable or contradict your ideas about planning and development? Get the instant assignment help.
D. How do the ideas connect with other readings, lectures, other classes or experiences you've had? How would you integrate these ideas with what you already know or think about this subject? How could you apply what you learned?
E. Is there anything in your past and/or present experiences that resonate with or clashes with this reading?
You need to write your essay, not just answer the questions. You should be asking yourself - how does this reading add to my knowledge of planning and real estate development? How does it challenge my presumptions about the fields? How does it challenge my own beliefs about the city and its development?
One way to show that you have accumulated knowledge during the class is make intelligent connections between the reading/s from the current week with ones from previous weeks. This course has a series of threads that flow through it, and the later readings do build on earlier ones. Using those thoughts, organize your reflection paper to express those ideas, emotions, concerns, and understandings. You can include multiple readings if that makes sense in the reflection.
