Intro to Economics
According to The International Institute of Restorative Practices (IIRP) the a reflection paper allows for you to add your thoughts and analysis to what you have read and experienced and illustrate your understanding of the material and how it affects your ideas and possible practice in future. The IIRP suggests in writing you should:
Begin by jotting down some of the reading material and class experiences that stand out in your mind. Decide why they stand out to you.
Use the first person singular (“I”), relate the readings and classes to your previous knowledge and experience.
Consider if and how what you have read and learned changes your thinking and might affect your practice in both personal and professional situations.
Review the readings and class notes to be sure you’ve included all the relevant information you can and made all the connections you can.
If necessary, include in-text references and a reference page for any materials you cite using APA citation formatting.
In this paper you will reflecting upon how a half-semester of economics has better helped you to understand yourself and the information you are acquiring. Write three (3) individual reflections in sections using the following headings:
1 .How the Economic Way of Thinking has helped me to think about concepts and principles in my chosen program of study
- How the concepts and principles in my chosen program of study has helped me to understand the Economic Way of Thinking and economic principles.
- How the Economic Way of Thinking has or will likely help me be a better choice maker.
