Mutual inquiry, the seeking of collective understanding, is a core focus of this writing assignment.

At one time, the greatest resource of the people was thinking. Searching our own minds, sharing our understandings of what is unfolding around us, listening respectfully to the understandings of others, and then applying this quest towards serving the people. Applying our minds not for personal gain but for collective good. When one uses the mind in a good way, seeking for collective, common good, then we are using our minds in a great way. We are thinking greatly. A primary goal of the course reflection assessment rubric is to guide each of my students towards decolonizing how we think together. In your reflections, my teaching objectives do not require you to seek to critique, debate, argue your position, or prove any “point”.

Reflect on course lectures and assigned resources. Explore new knowledge, share insights and new understandings. Reflect on any related experience and knowledge that facilitates greater understanding of the issues surrounding the topic you choose to reflect on: other sources of knowledge including personal experience and other courses that have contributed to your current understandings.

ASSESSMENT
Responses will be assessed in the following four areas:

1. Topic – Is the topic question covered thoroughly? Has the student explored the topic question? Explain

2. Writing Quality – Original, communication is clear; spelling, grammar and punctuation does not detract from message.
